Abstract

We investigated youth and parent knowledge of asthma using the Asthma Questionnaire (AQ), a newly developed measure that targets general asthma-related knowledge and knowledge of techniques often utilized to manage asthma symptoms. Participants included 46 youth with asthma and 126 parents of children with asthma. Also participating in the study was a comparison group consisting of 19 youth and 20 parents with no familial history of asthma. Results provided support for internal consistency and discriminant validity. Unlike knowledge measures previously published, the AQ is supported by its multi-informant versions, item format, and satisfactory initial psychometric properties.
