To discuss the unique challenges of managing asthma in young children and to review the literature over the past year with regard to regimen adherence in this relatively understudied population. Young children and their families face unique challenges in dealing with asthma and these have the potential to affect regimen adherence. They include the time and effort required by asthma-management activities (e.g. nebulizer use), dependency on parents for asthma care, and the limited ability of children to communicate about their symptoms.

Research suggests that several components need to be considered when designing interventions to improve adherence for young children with asthma: to consider the strain in the caregiver role when developing the treatment regimen, to provide devices that parents and children can use, to monitor adherence with electronic monitoring, and to address parents' concerns and perceptions about treat...Continue Reading
