According to the findings, for young people adhering to asthma medication is a process that depends on four vital aspects: (A) plan, (B) knowledge, (C) responsibility, and (D) belief. If young adults with asthma received individualized written asthma plans and have adequate knowledge about this plan, developing the correct health belief is likely to result. Hence, this can lead to a greater responsibility to manage their asthma to the recommended adherence level.
