title: Quality of care-risk adjustment outcomes model: testing the effects of a community-based educational self-management program for children with asthma.
abstract: This article describes the design of an outcomes model incorporating adjustment for patients' risks for various outcomes of care. A community-based educational self-management program for children with asthma is proposed for testing the model. Measures of model components: clinical factors; nonclinical factors; psychological, cognitive, and psychosocial functioning; and patient and client satisfaction are described. Testing this model has implications for guiding the development of individualized culturally sensitive nursing interventions for children with asthma and their parents.
