type: CreativeWork
description: Background: Despite the existence of questionnaires to assess asthma control in the Brazilian pediatric population, these have limitations mainly related to the lack of structural adequacy for its applicability in different age groups from childhood to adolescence. Objectives: To evaluate the measurement properties of measurement instruments to assess asthma control and to provide novel instruments for assessing, supporting, and monitoring pediatric asthma control for Brazilian population. Methods and results: Three studies were carried out resulting in 5 papers (1 published, 3 for immediate submission and 1 for further finalization). Study 1 comprises a systematic review (SR) of measurement properties of measures for asthma control assessment following the Consensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN). This SR summarizes 81 studies, covering 39 instruments. Study 2 comprises the process of translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and evaluation of the measurement properties of the Pediatric Asthma Therapy Assessment Questionnaire (ATAQ) for the Brazilian population. The translated questionnaire, considering its instructions, items, and response options, was considered adequate by the multidisciplinary committee of experts (Fleiss’ kappa > 0.70) and by the target population (30 parents/caregivers of children or adolescents with asthma between 5 and 17 years). The Brazilian version of the ATAQ demonstrated evidence of validity and reliability investigated in a sample of 118 participants. Study 3 comprises the development and content validation of an electronic system for the Assessment, Support and Monitoring of Asthma (e-ASMA), which includes measurement instruments in health (questionnaire and diary) in four versions to children, adolescents and parents/caregivers and the prototype of a mobile app and a portal. The methods of study 3 were performed according to COSMIN. Three focus groups were held with representatives of the …
