An Internet-Based Asthma Self-Management Program Increases Knowledge About Asthma.
Asthma education (AE) is associated with reduced hospitalization and disability. We compared the effectiveness of an electronic AE program (eAEP) with a conventional face-to-face AE program (presence-based AEP; pAEP) for asthma knowledge (AK) with regard to self-management. ⋯ An internet-based AEP could help to reduce the knowledge deficits of a large proportion of patients with asthma.
