title: [Written asthma action plans: a useful tool for self-management].
abstract: Written action plans for asthma have been recommended for many years. However, despite the fact that their effectiveness has been demonstrated, they are not used enough. The plans that we propose are serviceable and the method that we suggest makes them easy to use in the treatment of asthmatic children. These plans are made for patients who do not use a peak-flow meter (plans based on symptoms) and those who control this tool (plans based on peak expiratory flow).
