Abstract

This study investigated the moderating role of adolescent sex (i.e., male versus female) on the association between caregiver-teen conflict and asthma control in urban adolescents. Sex significantly moderated the association between caregiver-teen conflict and asthma control. Specifically, for male adolescents, higher levels of conflict were associated with poorer asthma control.
