Summary

The purpose of this 4 week pilot study is to test the use of a mobile application (also commonly referred to as an app) designed to help increase self-management strategies among youth that have asthma and obesity. The data obtained from this study will facilitate refinement of the app and interventional approaches for a future larger scale study to increase youth self-management of their clinical conditions, symptom management, and health maintenance as they transition to adulthood.

Detailed description

Investigate the feasibility of a 4-week evidence-based, nurse-guided, mHealth self-management intervention application for youth with asthma and obesity (ages 10-17). Aims are to conduct feasibility testing of the app with a sample of youth randomized to the intervention or control and to obtain estimates of variability and describe preliminary outcomes of the application on fatigue, pain, self-efficacy, anxiety, sleep, depression, and quality of life measured at baseline, 4, and 8 weeks.
