Abstract
Management of chronic illness presents a challenge to patients. Asthma is a common chronic disease affecting millions of Americans each year.

Tailored materials are shown to be an effective means of communication between patients and physicians. To improve asthma management in this high-risk group, we developed a web-based tool to facilitate the creation and dissemination of tailored materials for asthmatic pregnant women.
