“…In this model, it is assumed that asthma management is influenced by people's intention to manage their asthma, which in turn is influenced by their attitudes towards asthma management, beliefs regarding their ability to manage their asthma, and the influence of the thoughts, feelings and actions of others. The other known program for adolescents with asthma is a peer education program [22,23]. Although their methodologies are innovative and promising, the trials do not provide evidence that either program improves the asthma management behavior of adolescents.…”

“…Another liaison initiative with an "at-risk" group is the Adolescent Asthma Action (AAA) programme [68].

Reduction in the morbidity associated with asthma requires attention to several aspects of the behaviour of health professionals and patients, and to the interactions between these two groups. In this review, what has been learnt about health professional/patient communication and patient education (skills, settings and materials), lay and health professional liaison (including telephone helplines), patient education in low-income countries, the integration of patient education into clinical practice, health professional training and the implementation of guidelines, and the role of national asthma campaigns is drawn together. What changes in public policy would enhance asthma care, and whether the promotion of asthma self-management skills is cost effective are also considered. It is concluded that, although further research is necessary in many areas, well-educated health professionals who recognize the person with asthma as an individual, and who give advice about self-management, can significantly reduce the suffering and costs associated with asthma.

“…Studies have been predominantly conducted in the USA [156,157] where benefits were observed in health behaviour, reduction of asthma symptoms and school performance. A new approach to asthma education in adolescence is appearing where the educators are the young people themselves and it is delivered in the school environment to maximize coverage [158].…”

The 1998 World Asthma Meeting (WAM) has been the first multidisciplinary event aimed to consider asthma as a global public health problem in children and adults. The purpose of the meeting was to present state-of-the-art scientific information and to make recommendations on the research agenda for the coming years.Five Working Groups of invited experts were appointed to pin-point the established knowledge and the important questions in the areas of epidemiology, prevention, pathogenesis, management, and education. Their reports were discussed during the final plenary session, and are forming the current proceedings of the meeting.The message of the World Asthma Meeting provides a research agenda supported by the major international bodies involved in this disease. An integrated approach is considered to be essential in order to improve the prevention and care of asthma in all countries of the world.
