Description
James Katumba and five co-authors set out a trial protocol in 2023 for an asthma self-help app for Ugandan school teens. Poor asthma control in teens often traces to thin teaching about daily self-care. Their phone app gives lessons and reminders for inhaler use and trigger control.
The trial will enroll one hundred twenty day students aged twelve to nineteen with uncontrolled asthma in Kampala schools, split by school into app and standard groups for six months. Control scores, quality of life, adherence, and confidence will be tracked. A cheap phone tool could close a teaching gap where clinics are scarce.
