Incentives for Medication Adherence in Adolescents With Asthma

Financial incentives have been suggested as a possible means for increasing adherence to
asthma medications. This study will evaluate an incentive strategy (daily small reward for
adherence) in maintaining high levels of adherence as tracked by adherence sensors in
adolescents with asthma.

Two groups will be enrolled. The control group will have mediation monitoring sensors placed
on their controller inhalers. The treatment group will also have the monitoring sensors
placed on their medications, however they will be paid up to $1 per day for perfect adherence
for 3 months. Both groups will be monitored for 4 months. 10 subjects will be chosen from
each group to complete semi-structured phone interviews

Inclusion Criteria:

- physician diagnosed asthma

- on at least one inhaled controller medication

Exclusion Criteria:

- language other than English or Spanish (these are the only languages supported by the
adherence monitoring application)

- other severe chronic lung disease including tracheostomy/ventilator dependence,
interstitial lung disease or cystic fibrosis, or significant developmental delay.
