      • Positive reinforcement: encourage behaviour by giving something positive (desirable) as a consequence
        • Negative reinforcement: encourage behaviour by removing something undesirable as a consequence
    • Sample
      • 32 Australian children (22 males, 10 females) age range 1.5-6 (average 3.5)
      • Parent provided information consent, also participated by completing questionnaire and phone interview
      • Strengths: both gender and wide range of people and age
      • Weakness: more males then females, questionnaire over phone, person may get distracted
    • Procedure (after 2 weeks); assessed over the phone at random, asked if they had used Funhaler on the previous day, the end of 2 weeks they were interviewed again and attitudes and compliance were measured.
    • Aim: To test if positive reinforcement with the funhaler improved compliance in children with asthma, compared to using a normal inhaler
    • Conclusion:  Use of funhaler and self reinforcement improves clinical outcomes, e.g. lowering rates of asthma attacksSelf reinforcement can improve overall health of children
