Asthma education in a subsidized preschool setting.
The Inspire education program, with nine modules, was developed to improve medical management of asthma and was piloted among parents of preschool children in an economically disadvantaged community of color with high asthma prevalence. Program flexibility, individualized educational modules, a case management approach, and institutional involvement were key elements.
