“…The Mini Paediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (MiniPAQLQ) is a validated instrument for use among children and adolescents [38]. The survey consists of 13 questions designed to capture the burden of illness during the previous week across three domains; symptoms (6 items), activity limitation (3 items), and emotional function (four items) [38,39].…”

Objective This exploratory study assessed health literacy among urban African-American high school students to improve understanding of the association between adolescent health literacy and asthma. Methods We conducted a secondary data analysis of the control group (n = 181) of the Puff City randomized controlled trial (2006–2010), a web-based intervention to promote asthma management among students, grades 9 through 12. A validated self-report 3-item health literacy screening instrument was completed at final online follow-up survey. Logistic regression was used to explore the association between health literacy, demographic characteristics, quality of life, asthma management, and health care utilization. Results Multivariate analysis revealed that an overall inadequate health literacy score was associated with students who were more likely to be younger (OR 0.61; 95% CI 0.44–0.84), not on Medicaid (OR 0.36; 95% CI 0.17–0.76), have at least one hospitalization (OR 1.29; 95% CI 1.07–1.56); and a lower overall quality of life (OR 0.75; 95% CI 0.59–0.95). Those lacking confidence in filling out medical forms, needing help reading hospital materials, and having difficulty understanding written information were more likely to not have a rescue inhaler (OR 0.49; 95% CI 0.25–0.94), have one or more emergency visits (OR 1.21–95% CI 1.02–1.43), and one or more hospitalizations (OR 1.19; 95% CI 1.01–1.41), respectively. Conclusions The findings indicate a significant association between inadequate health literary and suboptimal asthma management. It is important to advance understanding of adolescent health literacy, especially those at-risk, as they assume asthma self-management tasks and move toward independent adult self-care.

“…In children with asthma, the ACQ demonstrates a good construct validity, as indicated by its strong correlation with the Mini Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire, 59 Asthma Control Diary, 60 the ACT and cACT, the Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire, 42 and the Asthma Symptom Utility Index. 53,54,61 Also, the ACQ discriminates between groups of children with asthma based on the presence or absence of clinical events related to asthma control.…”

, and they emphasize periodic assessment of asthma control once treatment is established. Accurate assessment of asthma control is difficult due to the complexity of asthma control and due to the limitations in the traditional methods of assessment, such as lung function tests, physician assessment, and patients' self-assessment. Relying solely on the role of lung function tests is insufficient to reflect the status of asthma control, since patients with asthma may have normal spirometry between exacerbations. Clinicians often overestimate the level of asthma control. Similarly, it is not uncommon for patients to overestimate how well their asthma is controlled, and, therefore, they under-report asthma symptoms and fail to recognize the impact that asthma has on their daily life. As a result, several tools have been developed to quantify the level of asthma control, identify patients at risk, and evaluate the effect of asthma management. This review examines the commonly 106RESPIRATORY CARE • JANUARY 2016 VOL 61 NO 1 used asthma control assessment tools in terms of content, psychometric properties, methods of administration, limitations, and ability to reflect the overall status of asthma control, which can aid clinicians in selecting the most appropriate tool for their needs.
