this is the standard of care control group. The control group will be instructed to return to their regular physicians for routine follow up at a time to be specified by the physician.
Group 2 will receive routine home visits from nurses provided by a home health care agency.
In-home asthma management program (AMP) provided by respiratory therapists. The AMP included asthma education (medications use, monitoring, triggers, steps to manage asthma attacks), demonstration and training (peak flow meter use, MDI and nebulizer use, asthma diary), home environment assessment and suggestions for environmental changes (mattress covers, control of dust, pets, fumes, cleaning materials, cock roach control, etc.)
