Abstract
Poor adherence to controller therapies is a universal challenge to asthma control. Several high-risk groups, including adolescents, pregnant women, and older adults, have their own unique challenges to adherence. The rates of asthma controller therapy use are low in each of these populations, but secondary to different causes. Adolescents have increased independence and a transition to new self-management responsibilities; pregnant women may be concerned about adverse effects of medications to the fetus; and older adults may have age-related physical and cognitive challenges to effectively taking medication. Only by understanding the nuances of care in these populations can healthcare professionals develop strategies to address barriers to adherence. Tailored education focused on empowering patients and dispelling misconceptions can serve as tools to improve adherence and ultimately asthma control.
期刊介绍：
JACI: In Practice is an official publication of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI). It is a companion title to The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and it aims to provide timely clinical papers, case reports, and management recommendations to clinical allergists and other physicians dealing with allergic and immunologic diseases in their practice. The mission of JACI: In Practice is to offer valid and impactful information that supports evidence-based clinical decisions in the diagnosis and management of asthma, allergies, immunologic conditions, and related diseases.
This journal publishes articles on various conditions treated by allergist-immunologists, including food allergy, respiratory disorders (such as asthma, rhinitis, nasal polyps, sinusitis, cough, ABPA, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis), drug allergy, insect sting allergy, anaphylaxis, dermatologic disorders (such as atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, urticaria, angioedema, and HAE), immunodeficiency, autoinflammatory syndromes, eosinophilic disorders, and mast cell disorders.
The focus of the journal is on providing cutting-edge clinical information that practitioners can use in their everyday practice or to acquire new knowledge and skills for the benefit of their patients. However, mechanistic or translational studies without immediate or near future clinical relevance, as well as animal studies, are not within the scope of the journal.
