Univariable analysis. Results adjusted for initial stage-of-change. Data reported as hazard ratio (95% confidence interval). PACQLQ = Parental Asthma Caregiver’s Quality of Life Questionnaire (Juniper et al. Qual Life Res. 1996;5:27–34). For Social Support, subjects reported numbers of friends or relatives they can “call on when they need a favor” and numbers of friends or relatives “that they feel at ease with and can talk to about a private matter”.
