BEHAVIORAL

Asthma self-management education

Treatment group children and their families participated in the patient education program which consisted of four separate one-hour sessions. The topics were: symptoms of asthma, causes of asthma ("triggers"), medications, and peak flow. A bilingual nurse educator working one-on-one with the child and family members delivered these four sessions. The four sessions were delivered over a six week period. Culturally sensitive educational materials include both print (flip charts, take-home brochures) and videotape materials. The videotapes feature children from the clinic and highlight how they successfully manage their asthma. All materials are available in both English and Spanish.
