Trial of Asthma Self-Management Education in Patients With Depressive Symptoms

Although depressive and anxious symptoms are common in asthma patients and are associated with worse clinical and resource utilization outcomes, there have been no studies focusing on the particular challenges of improving asthma self-management in this population. The investigators hypothesize that a tailored intervention to improve asthma self-management in patients with a known history of depressive and anxious symptoms will be effective in improving asthma-related quality of life.
