1. Improving adherence to asthma controller medication use;
2. Improving compliance of carrying a rescue inhaler at all times for use at the first sign of asthma symptoms;
3. Improving inhaler technique;
4. Smoking reduction or cessation in those who are smokers; and
5. Avoidance of second-hand smoke exposure.
