Differential change was calculated as the difference from baseline in the CART condition (eg, 1MFU − baseline) minus the difference from baseline for the SLOW condition; higher numbers indicate greater increases in CART vs SLOW. 1MFU = 1-mo follow-up; 6MFU = 6-mo follow-up; ACT = Asthma Control Test.
