Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Asthma-specific health related quality of life of the children as measured with the Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Instrument | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes are measures of asthma control, asthma medication use, lung function, NO, asthma symptoms, costs (i.e. program costs, direct medical and indirect costs), and satisfaction with delivered health care in children as well as in their parents and physician. Next, facilitators and barriers of implementation of the Pelican instrument in primary and secondary care are assessed. To address this, the process of the implementation of the instrument in both randomised trials will be evaluated. Also the caregivers (i.e., parents) health related quality of life is a secondary outcome. | — |
