TL;DR
Less asthma self-efficacy, more depressive symptoms, and unrealistic expectations predict worse asthma outcomes, which is potentially modifiable and may offer new ways to intervene to improve asthma outcomes.
Abstract
Less asthma self-efficacy, more depressive symptoms, and unrealistic expectations predict worse asthma outcomes. These relatively unexplored patient-centered variables in asthma are potentially modifiable and may offer new ways to intervene to improve asthma outcomes.
