项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the Investigator's Abstract): Asthma affects approximately 4.2 million children under 18 years of age - it is the most common chronic illness of childhood. Preventive anti-inflammatory therapy and inhaled beta2 agonists are now used earlier in the management plan to reduce the frequency and severity of symptom occurrence. In spite of these treatment advances, asthma has increased among children under 18 years from 2.7 million affected in 1988 to 4.2 million in 1995. Factors that may contribute to rising asthma prevalence include lack of knowledge on the part of parents and children which can result in ineffective asthma management behaviors. The long-term objective to reduce asthma morbility in children. The purpose of the study is to: 1) Determine the effect of an asthma health education program for parents and their school-age children on the children s asthma morbidity (asthma illness days, ED visits, school absences, hospital stays). 2) Evaluate changes in parents' and children s management behaviors (asthma management behaviors, environmental management strategies) after being provided with an asthma health education program. A pilot intervention study is proposed with a convenience sample of predominantly low-income Mexican American, African American, and Anglo American families with asthmatic school-age children in 3rd to 5th grades. The asthma health education program is designed to increase children's and parents knowledge and management of asthma. Children participate in 6 bi-weekly classes over 3 weeks during school hours, followed by one review class six months later. Parent education materials will be mailed to the home at the end of year-1. Data will be gathered over 2 years to determine the effectiveness of the intervention on reducing asthma morbidity, and promoting asthma knowledge and management behaviors by comparing pre-and post-intervention data.

描述（改编自调查员的摘要）：哮喘影响大约420万年龄在18岁以下的儿童 - 是最多的童年的常见慢性疾病。预防性抗炎疗法现在，在管理计划中使用了吸入的beta2激动剂降低症状发生的频率和严重程度。尽管有这些治疗进展，18岁以下儿童的哮喘从 1988年受影响的270万到1995年受影响的420万。促使哮喘患病率不断增加的原因包括缺乏知识父母和孩子可能导致无效的哮喘管理行为。降低儿童哮喘病性的长期目标。研究的目的是：1）确定哮喘健康的影响父母及其学龄儿童的教育计划 S哮喘发病率（哮喘疾病日，ED访问，学校缺席，住院）。 2）评估父母和孩子管理的变化行为（哮喘管理行为，环境管理策略）在获得哮喘健康教育计划之后。飞行员提出干预研究，主要是方便的样本低收入墨西哥裔美国人，非裔美国人和盎格鲁美国家庭三年级至5年级的哮喘学龄儿童。哮喘健康教育计划旨在增加儿童和父母的知识和哮喘的管理。孩子们参加了6个每两周一次的课程上课时间为3周，然后在六个月后进行一次评论课。父母教育材料将在1年末邮寄到房屋。数据将在2年内收集，以确定干预降低哮喘发病率并促进哮喘知识通过比较干预前和干预后数据进行管理行为。
