Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
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.
