Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a daily text reminder ("AdhasText") can help children with asthma use their inhalers regularly, control their symptoms, and improve their lung function. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the daily text reminder improve adherence to inhaled corticosteroids in children with asthma? Does the text reminder help children with asthma control their symptoms better? Does the text reminder improve lung function in children with asthma? Researchers will compare children who receive the daily text reminder with usual care to children who receive usual care (without the reminder) to see if the text reminder improves adherence, symptom control, and lung function. Participants will: Receive a daily text reminder or usual care (no reminder) for 90 days Complete questionnaires about their asthma symptoms at 45 and 90 days Have spirometry tests to measure lung function at the start of the study and 90 days
