A three-year survey identified 74 asthma patient education programs outside Quebec, with Quebec having 114 centers. Progress in asthma education is noted, but regional disparities persist.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Asthma affects over 1.2 million Canadians.
  • Effective patient education is crucial for asthma management.
  • Previous comprehensive data on asthma education programs in Canada was lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the number and types of asthma patient education programs across Canada.
  • To assess the progress and regional distribution of asthma education initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • A national survey was conducted over three years.
  • Programs were identified through existing networks, conferences, and direct outreach.
  • Data was collected via a 26-item questionnaire, excluding physician/pharmacist consultations.

Main Results:

  • 74 asthma education programs were identified outside Quebec, involving nurses, respiratory therapists, and other health professionals.
  • Most programs offered initial patient encounters of at least one hour, with 41 requiring physician referral.
  • Quebec operates a separate, integrated program with 114 education centers under the Quebec Asthma Education Network (QAEN).

Conclusions:

  • Significant progress has been made in establishing asthma patient education programs in Canada.
  • There are notable regional differences in program availability across the country.
  • The findings highlight the need for equitable access to asthma education nationwide.
