The specific aims of this pilot study are to:
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the asthma education intervention on asthma knowledge
- Determine whether the asthma education intervention improves child and parent asthma treatment self-efficacy
Our hypothesis is that the asthma education intervention will significantly improve asthma knowledge and asthma self-efficacy at 1 month post-intervention as compared to controls.

Experimental: Intervention Group
After the baseline tools have been completed, the child will be given the Iggy Comic Book and trading cards. Parents and their children will then watch a 12-minute Iggy Video. At the completion of the video and prior to going home, the child and parent will complete the same 2 measures on asthma knowledge and self-efficacy. At 1-month after this clinic visit, the parent will be sent an email with a link to a Qualtrics survey that will contain a few supplemental questions to assess use of the intervention and the same 2 measures that the parent and the child completed at the initial visit.

Behavioral: Iggy and the Inhalers Asthma Education for Kids
It is a comic book, trading cards, and stickers that teach kids about asthma. There is also a 12-minute cartoon video which teaches kids about asthma. |
No Intervention: Control Group
After the baseline tools have been completed, the parent and child will go home. At 1-month after the initial study clinic visit, the parent will be sent an email with a link to a Qualtrics survey that will contain a few supplemental questions to assess use of the intervention and the same 2 measures that the parent and the child completed at the initial visit.

- Asthma knowledge [ Time Frame: Change in asthma knowledge immediately post-intervention and 1 month after intervention as compared with asthma knowledge prior to the intervention ]This will be measured by a 10 question multiple choice survey
- Asthma Self Efficacy [ Time Frame: Change in asthma self efficacy scores immediately post-intervention and 1 month after intervention as compared to pre-intervention self-efficacy scores ]This will be measured by a 14 question survey
