Abstract

Asthma is an inflammatory disease. Educated asthmatics can be involved in self-managements strategies that focus on prevention and treatment of airway inflammation using environmental control and inhaled corticosteroids as the cornerstones of therapy. It is hoped that such an approach will reduce asthma morbidity and mortality rates.
