Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyRandomized trial of a comprehensive asthma education program after an emergency department visit.
Patients with asthma who visit the emergency department (ED) may benefit from education that optimizes self-management and treatment. ⋯ Delivery of a comprehensive AE program after an ED visit was ineffective in adult patients; however, it may be effective in children. Further research on alternative AE delivery strategies appears warranted to reduce the burden of asthma visits to the ED.
