A home visiting asthma education program : challenges to program implementation . This study describes the implementation of a nurse home visiting asthma education program for low-income African American families of young children with asthma . Of 55 families , 71 % completed the program consisting of eight lessons . The achievement of learning objectives was predicted by caregiver factors , such as education , presence of father or surrogate father in the household , and safety of the neighborhood , but not by child factors , such as age or severity of asthma as implied by the prescribed asthma medication regimen . Incompatibility between the scheduling needs of the families and the nurse home visitors was a major obstacle in delivering the program on time , despite the flexibility of the nurse home visitors . The authors suggest that future home-based asthma education programs contain a more limited number of home visits but add telephone follow-ups and address the broader needs of low-income families that most likely function as barriers to program success .
