Family Learning on Asthma Topics

Completed

Conditions studied: Asthma

In brief

1. Hypothesis: The Family Learning on Asthma Topics (F.L.O.A.T) in the form of a a group teaching environment for family education stemming from standardized education materials on asthma, created and taught by nationally certified asthma educators will promote optimal asthma knowledge, management and quality of life among the individuals with asthma and their caregivers. 2. Aim 1: To determine if the availability of educational services outside of regular clinic hours or admission status could improve asthma outcomes and decrease unnecessary medical utilization. 3. Aim 2: By providing small-group learning environments for families, the investigators aim to encourage families to learn from each other's experiences and to decrease stigma around the disease.
