Tests an asthma education program in 204 Latino families with an asthmatic child. The curriculum was culturally-tailored, and all participants received education on understanding asthma, preventing attacks, and managing asthma. Outcomes included changes in asthma knowledge and home environment asthma management procedures. Asthma knowledge increased significantly and participants made significant changes to the child's bedroom environment. (Contains 51 references and 2 tables.) (Author/GCP)
