Developing the Adolescent Asthma Self-Management Behavioral Framework

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Asthma remains highly prevalent among adolescents, many of whom experience poor control despite medical advances. Adolescents are often expected to manage their asthma independently, yet may lack the necessary knowledge, skills, and autonomy. Existing family-centered frameworks frequently overlook their developmental needs. This paper introduces the Adolescent Asthma Self-Management Behavioral Framework, which emphasizes cognitive, behavioral, and emotional autonomy within social and developmental contexts. By addressing these gaps, the framework can advance clinical practice and guide future research toward developmentally appropriate, autonomy-supportive, and contextually relevant approaches to adolescent asthma self-management.
