title: [How to improve therapeutic compliance in the asthmatic pediatric patient].
abstract: Asthma is a chronic disease the control of which often requires a day-to-day treatment. The compliance in childhood asthma is estimated at 50%. It is therefore mandatory to resort to strategies for good compliance. Starting from a literature review and the concept of Guided Self-Management defined in the GINA 2009 report, our pneumo-paediatric unit offers a local, useful and efficient strategy based on close collaboration with the family doctor, an Internet asthma school or DVD and the edition of a clear asthma treatment plan, which can easily be filled in by the physicians.
