Summary

The investigators hypothesize that reinforced asthma education improves long-term outcomes in children with asthma.

1. To determine the retention rate of parental knowledge about asthma;
2. To evaluate the clinical status, quality of life and healthcare costs of children with asthma following an educational intervention.

Conditions

BEHAVIORAL

Reinforced Asthma Education

Before beginning the actual study, a board-certified Asthma Educator (AE) will prepare and administer an asthma education training session for the study personnel, including the PI, the co-investigators, and the study coordinator. The AE will also make herself available via pager for assistance with questions from the study personnel regarding asthma education. At the end of the administration of the phone surveys (i.e. at 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months following enrollment), the study coordinator will provide reinforced asthma education to the caregiver via telephone for the subjects enrolled in Group A (the intervention group). The reinforced asthma education will be consistent with the asthma education training session delivered by the AE before the beginning of the study.
