Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: education is effective for a good control of asthma, especially to reduce hospitalization and emergency department visits, and it is more effective if directed to both children and parents/guardians than only to children. The setting of asthma education does not impact the results to a large extent.

Reviewers’ commentary: education is effective in reducing the need of health care in children with asthma, although the best strategy still needs to be defined, in terms of scope, content and the educational agent.
