摘要

QUESTION:Do culture-specific education programmes improve asthma-related outcomes in children and adults from ethnic minority groups?REVIEW SCOPE:Included studies compared culture-specific asthma education programmes with generic programmes or usual care in children or adults from ethnic minority groups who had asthma. Studies of patients with eosinophilic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, chronic obstructive airway disease, cough variant asthma, or wheezy bronchitis were excluded. Outcomes included asthma control, hospital admission, emergency department (ED) visits, and quality of life.
