Caretaker Expectations Regarding the Management of Pediatric Asthma Scale (CE)
Asthma, a very serious health condition in the United States, results in
morbidity and mortality that disproportionately affect children living
in inner-city areas. The National Cooperative Inner-City Asthma Study
(NCICAS) examined a variety of factors related to pediatric asthma. The
CE scale was developed in the NCICAS study and is designed to assess
three psychological factors in caretakers of children with asthma
(self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and response difficulty). The
scale is provided here and background is available in: Holden, G.,
