Patient, professional, and public education on behavioral aspects of asthma: a review of strategies for change and needed research.

Combating increases in asthma morbidity and mortality necessitates an understanding of social and behavioral aspects of the disease. Education for patients, professionals, and the public based on the most current scientific information is required. This paper reviews the existing research on patient education and management of asthma. It discusses physician and family interaction related to asthma management; identifies gaps in the current understanding of relevant patient, professional, and public behavior; outlines needed strategies to improve asthma education; and poses recommendations for further research.
