title: The team approach to pediatric asthma education.
abstract: An interdisciplinary pediatric pulmonary team of nurses, pharmacists, and social workers developed an asthma education program for presentation to children with asthma, ages 7-11, in a camp setting. Sound educational principles provide the foundation for this program, which includes a variety of teaching methods including puppet shows, games, crafts, and song. Informal evaluation methods of observation and feedback indicated that children's knowledge of asthma and asthma management increased.
