Improving Pediatrician Knowledge About Environmental Triggers of Asthma.
Clin Pediatr (Phila). 2013 Mar 28;
Authors: Roberts JR, Karr CJ, de Ybarrondo L, McCurdy LE, Freeland KD, Hulsey TC, Forman J
Abstract
Background. Control of environmental triggers (ETs) greatly improves asthma outcomes in children. Disseminating these findings to general pediatricians has not been well established. Methods. After delivering a structured and standardized presentation on ET identification and control to pediatricians, we surveyed them about knowledge and practices of ET assessment and management. We analyzed matched responses for pre/post and 3- to 6-month follow-up using McNemar’s ?(2) test. Results. Matched data were available for 367 participants, and 3- to 6-month follow-up data were available for 83. There was a significant posttraining increase in intention to ask about ETs and recommend ET management. After 3 to 6 months, all responses remained significantly higher than baseline, except “likely to refer to an asthma specialist.” Conclusion. Pediatricians reported a significant improvement in knowledge about ETs of asthma and a willingness to incorporate exposure history questions and remediation recommendations in their routine practice.
