“…Several questionnaires have been developed for evaluating parental knowledge and practices about childhood asthma [ 6 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. However, findings from these studies have highlighted that the construction of reliable self-report asthma knowledge instruments may not be achievable in practice [ 14 ].…”

“…On the other side, commonly assessed properties are content and face validity [ 12 , 18 ], internal consistency [ 15 , 17 ], and Test-Retest Reliability [ 12 , 17 ]. Another important aspect to consider is that answers may not always be identified as objectively correct or incorrect, and items may not be equally important [ 16 ].…”

Mothers’ knowledge about childhood asthma influences management practices and disease control, but validating knowledge/practice questionnaires is difficult due to the lack of a gold standard. We hypothesized that Latent Class Analysis (LCA) could help identify underlying mother profiles with similar knowledge/practices. A total of 438 mothers of asthmatic children answered a knowledge/practice questionnaire. Using answers to the knowledge/practice questionnaire as manifest variables, LCA identified two classes: Class 1, “poor knowledge” (33%); Class 2, “good knowledge” (67%). Classification accuracy was 0.96. Mothers in Class 2 were more likely to be aware of asthma-worsening factors and indicators of attacks. Mothers in Class 1 were more likely to prevent exposure to tobacco smoke (91.1% vs. 78.8%, p = 0.005). For attacks, mothers in Class 2 were more likely to go to the emergency department and follow the asthma action plan. Mothers in Class 2 more frequently had a high education level (79.5% vs. 65.2%, p = 0.004). Children in Class 2 more frequently had fully controlled asthma (36.7% vs. 25.9%, p = 0.015) and hospitalizations for attacks in the previous 12 months (24.2% vs. 10.7%, p = 0.003). LCA can help discover underlying mother profiles and plan targeted educational interventions.
