Characteristics of Existing Asthma Self-Management Education Packages [Internet].
Show detailsPurpose
To identify the components that comprise asthma self-management education (AS-ME) packages used in the United States, and examine, compare, and organize their key characteristics and available research to enable a better understanding of current practice and future needs.
Key Messages
- Many AS-ME packages are currently available in English and Spanish for different populations and settings
- Most packages rely on in-person instruction with paper-based materials
- Packages are often tailored to local settings, but little is known about how they are modified
- Numerous studies found that packages are associated with improved asthma control, reduced symptom frequency, increased asthma knowledge, and fewer school absences; results are mixed for outcomes such as hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and quality of life
