Abstract

This study focused on behavior modification and enhancement of knowledge concerning home asthma management. The intervention focused on asthma awareness, severity assessment, medication use, and development of management plans while building a support group. The quasi-experimental design utilized various tools to evaluate knowledge, behavior modification, and self-care management. A 25% increase in knowledge and a 13% decrease in emergency department visits was identified over the 12-month period of the study.
