The goal of this study is to examine the effects of framed mobile messages on young adults' beliefs about their daily Inhaled Corticosteroids (ICS), intentions to take their ICS, adherence, and asthma control. College students (18-29 years) who owned a mobile phone and had a diagnosis of asthma with a prescription for an ICS will be recruited. Participants will be randomized to receive either gain- or loss-framed mobile messages three times per week for eight weeks. Outcomes including beliefs, intentions, adherence, and asthma control will be assessed.
