However, the evidence behind these strategies is limited and it is challenging to identify interventions that are most likely to improve clinical outcomes. Additionally, broader determinants of health may disempower children with asthma.

Summary: Asthma is a common medical condition among children and young people, and adolescence is a period of increased risk for asthma. Asthma during adolescence can change significantly, and managing it becomes more challenging due to increased autonomy and self-governance. Various factors, including anaphylaxis, anxiety, depression, obesity, and resistance to treatment, can destabilize asthma in adolescents. Patient factors such as smoking, vaping, poor symptom recognition, treatment non-adherence, and variable engagement with health services contribute to difficult-to-treat asthma. Effective transition programs and personalized approaches are essential for optimizing asthma care during adolescence.
