Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in Caregiver's asthma knowledge	The preliminary effect of the intervention in caregiver's asthma knowledge will be assessed via the Asthma Knowledge Questionnaire. The questionnaire is completed by the caregiver and has 17 items with a total score range of 17-85 with a higher score indicating higher asthma knowledge.	Baseline, Week 3
Primary	Change in Caregiver's sleep	The preliminary effect of the intervention in caregiver's sleep will be assessed via the Adult Sickle Cell Quality of Life Measurement (ASCQ-Me) Version 2.0 Sleep Impact - Short Form Questionnaire. The questionnaire is completed by the caregiver and has 5 items with each item having a scoring possibility of 1-5. The total score ranges from 5-25 with a higher score indicating better sleep.	Baseline, Week 3
Primary	Change in Caregiver's anxiety	The preliminary effect of the intervention in caregiver's anxiety will be assessed via the Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders (Neuro-QOL ) Anxiety - Short Form Questionnaire.
