PURPOSE: To examine psychosocial care needs of children with recent-onset asthma. DESIGN/METHODS: Data were collected over 2 years from 63 children ages 8-14 years. RESULTS: Children's need for attention to specific aspects of their asthma care remained high over the 2 years, as did their perceived needs for information and support and their concerns and fears. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Children have many needs, and healthcare professionals may not be providing care that addresses these needs. The Child Report of Psychosocial Care can be used as a quick tool to assess and guide interventions related to specific areas of need.
