Abstract
ABSTRACT Schools are an ideal setting for asthma education programs as they can reach many children. However, it is unknown if school-based asthma education programs in the United States (US) reduce acute care services. This scoping review sought to identify whether school-based asthma education programs lead to improved acute care services. Overall, the evidence provides provisional support that school-based asthma education programs can reduce acute care utilization and may be a potential treatment intervention. Future research is needed to determine more definitive conclusions about the effectiveness of school-based asthma education programs and which components yield significant changes.
