Association, American Academy of Asthma, Allergy, and Immunology, etc) that targets five key
asthma management issues among rural youth:
1. Improving adherence to asthma controller medication use;
2. Improving compliance of carrying a rescue inhaler at all times for use at the first
sign of asthma symptoms;
3. Improving inhaler technique;
4. Smoking reduction or cessation in those who are smokers; and
5. Avoidance of second-hand smoke exposure.
