Exploring the feasibility, acceptability, usability and safety of a digitally supported self-management intervention for uncontrolled asthma: A pre-post pilot study in secondary care.

Introduction: Asthma control is often suboptimal, which is associated with incorrect medication use and poor asthma management by patients. Astmakompas, a digital self-management intervention, comprises a mobile app for patients, a web portal for healthcare professionals (HCP), and a wireless spirometer. Together, these components are intended to facilitate symptom monitoring, patient-HCP communication and assist in asthma-related self-management.

The association between objectively measured exposure to tobacco outlets and smoking cognitions: a study among non-smoking adolescents in four Dutch cities.

Aims: Exposure to tobacco products and advertising at the point of sale may be associated with pro-smoking cognitions. However, previous studies on this topic measured exposure based on self-report and did not include European countries. The aim of this study was to assess the association between objectively measured exposure to tobacco outlets and non-smoking adolescents' smoking attitudes, beliefs and norms.

Educational inequalities in exposure to tobacco promotion at the point of sale among adolescents in four Dutch cities.

This study aimed to assess educational differences in adolescents' exposure to tobacco outlets. Data were collected among 312 13-17-year-old non-smoking secondary school students in four Dutch cities. In a smartphone app, exposure (≤10 m from outlet) was measured using GPS and participants reported their educational track (pre-vocational vs.
