Improving youth question-asking and provider education during pediatric asthma visits
Research has shown that children and adolescents are not actively involved during their medical visits [1,2]. Traditionally, the adolescent ’s contribution during medical visits has been limited to approximately 10% of the visit and the communication is dominated by the physician and parent [1,2]. Parents often restrict the adolescent’s participation and want to dominate the medical visit [1]. However, actively involving youth durin g visits could improve their medication knowledge and their overall physical functioning [3,4].
