Experimental: Intervention Group

1) Asthma Supervision; 2) Mobile Phone with talking, texting, and data plan; 3) Inhaled Corticosteroid Mobile Phone Application to provide virtual doctor supervision, immediate feedback, and positive reinforcement for taking inhaled corticosteroid medication as indicated; and 4) Beta2-adrenergic agonist Mobile Phone Application to monitor real time patterns of use of beta2-adrenergic agonist medication for asthma.

Each participant will be provided with a spacer and a peak flow meter, and instructions on proper technique, by a member of the study team during the baseline period. They will also meet with study staff at study visits during the active treatment phase to review their adherence to daily inhaled corticosteroids and usage patterns of short acting B2-agonist medication.

Adherence is measured as the mean of daily adherence to prescription inhaled corticosteroid dose over 14 days both at baseline and at week 10 of the active treatment phase. For the primary outcome, we will compare adherence at week 10 to adherence at baseline.

This study will use an electronic dose counter and mobile phone technology to track participants real time use of quick-relief (beta2-adrenergic agonist) medication for asthma during the 10 weeks of active treatment.
