Detailed description
The study will test the adapted app on participants ages 15-21 (recruited from outpatient primary and specialty care sites at Montefiore) with asthma, for a period of 4 and a half months, and will conduct formative and summative evaluation of the application's functionality and usability. The investigators will also be collecting process and clinical outcomes.
