Asthma Prevention in Pediatrics
In a quantitative research study by Glasgow et al. (2012), a randomized control trial found that there was no difference in respiratory symptoms in children with moderate to severe asthma when given a mite-occlusive mattress cover.
A qualitative study that analyzed the perceptions of primary care physicians about initiation of controller medications in children with asthma showed that “primary care providers who participated in this study believed that the ED visit offers a valuable opportunity for the initiation of controller medications when ED providers use guideline-based criteria and communicate the intervention to the PCP” (Sampayo, Agnant, Chew, Zorc, and Fein, 2011, p. 8).

(QI) program in reducing asthma emergency department (ED) visits, a study was conducted by Woods et al. (2012).
A meta-analysis was conducted to determine the effects of smoking by parents or other members within a household on the risk of asthma in children (Burke et al., 2012).
A systematic review analyzed the use of inhaled corticosteroids, long- or short-acting β2-adrenoceptor agonists, parasympatholytics, and oral leukotriene receptor antagonists in asthmatic children when induced by exercise (Grzelewski and Stelmach, 2009).
