Overweight adolescents and asthma: revealing motivations and challenges with adolescent-provider communication.
This mixed-methods study assessed teens' awareness of the link between weight and asthma management, and perspectives on how medical providers might open a discussion about managing weight. The investigators found that most teens responded favorably to initiating weight loss if it impacted asthma management, valued their provider addressing weight and family participation in weight management efforts.
