Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyParental health literacy and asthma education delivery during a visit to a community-based pediatric emergency department: a pilot study.
The objective of the study was to compare change in asthma knowledge among parents with low or adequate health literacy after video or written asthma education delivered during their child's asthma-related emergency department (ED) visit. ⋯ Asthma education materials distributed at the time of an ED visit increase parental knowledge about the disease. Video-based asthma education appears promising as a tool for increasing asthma knowledge in both low- and adequate-health-literacy parents.
