Dyjack and Christine M. Neish  \nABSTRACT  \nAsthma education interventions primarily target young children and adults, and a few target adolescents. Several constructs of the social cognitive theory were used to design a classroom-based high school asthma education curriculum and to determine if the curriculum would improve asthma knowledge and attitudes among 10th grade students, as well as improve the quality of life, self-efficacy, and self-management behaviors among asthmatic students. Using a nonequivalent control group design with delayed intervention (three-week delay) in one group, we surveyed a sample of 122 10th grade health academy students. Twenty-four students (20%) reported having doctordiagnosed asthma. Statistical data analysis determined that asthma knowledge mean scores and self-efficacy mean scores significantly improved for students who received the curriculum. Most students held favorable attitudes towards asthmatics before the intervention, with a slight decrease in positive attitudes after the intervention. There were also slight, insignificant improvements in quality of life among asthmatic students. This study demonstrated that the asthma curriculum improved knowledge among asthmatic and nonasthmatic students and self-efficacy among the asthmatic students. Asthma education, based on a theoretical framework, can be effectively incorporated into a traditional high school curriculum.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nAsthma is the leading chronic illness among children in the United States, affecting approximately 5 million under the age of 18.1 Furthermore, asthma is now the leading cause of school absenteeism and emergency room admission among children. Among adolescents aged 12-17, 136,000 in California missed one or more days of school per month due to asthma symptoms.2 Asthma among adolescents is also underdiagnosed,3 and the acceptance of diagnosis and compliance is poor.4 Consequently, some authors considered adolescent asthmatics to be a high-risk population.5,6  \nIn a cross-sectional logistic regression analysis of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project’s dataset called Nationwide  \nInpatient Sample (NIS), adolescents 13 to 18 years of age were 1.22 times (95% CI= 1.05-1.43) more likely to have high-severity asthma than younger children 5 to 12 years of age, controlling for gender, geographic region, hospital location, bed size and season.7  \nBased on the literature, researchers are moving in the direction of implementing adolescent asthma health education in schools and determining what aspects of these interventions are effective. Schools, rather than hospitals, are prime settings for asthma health education for children and adolescents due to practicality and familiarity with the environment.8-10  \nSeveral asthma health education programs have been developed to change  \nbehaviors, such as avoiding allergens or regularly taking preventive medications, necessary for long-term control of asthma; 11-13  \nSally Fontamillas Shaw, DrPH, MPH, is project director, Glendale Adventist Medical Center, 1509 Wilson Terrace, Glendale, California, 91206; E-mail: [shawsf@ah.org.
