Abstract
Health literacy is a crucial ingredient of successful asthma self-management. Studies have shown that a paucity of asthma health literacy leads to lower levels of asthma control and thus more severe asthma symptoms, which, in turn, results in a suboptimal course of disease. In this research focus on two research questions: (1) To which degree does an interactive health literacy coaching with parental support improve the health literacy in children with asthma? and (2) How must the intervention be implemented in the healthcare system to increase its efficacy?
