IntroductionAsthma is a common inflammatory condition that can be life threatening. The National Review of Asthma Deaths (2014) recommended: Parents and children…should be educated about managing asthma. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of an educational video on asthma at improving knowledge in adolescent children.MethodsA 3‐min asthma education video was shown to young people aged 13–15 years in two contrasting schools. Knowledge of asthma was evaluated using a 6‐question form completed at 3 timepoints: baseline (pre), immediately after intervention (post), and 1 week later (delayed). A total of 151 data sets from two schools were analysed.ResultsKnowledge was significantly improved immediately after watching the video for four out of six questions, indicating that the video was successful in effectively educating the children about asthma. There was no significant change to responses between immediately after watching the video and a week later, suggesting retention of the knowledge gained from viewing the intervention material.ConclusionThe results suggest acquisition and retention of knowledge in young people after watching a video on asthma, providing evidence to support the use of digital, video‐assisted, internet‐based learning tools such as the ‘Moving on Asthma’ website as an aid to regular clinics for young people with asthma.

“…Unfortunately, only one-in-three patients with asthma attend for this review (Pinnock et al., 2007), the main reason being low perception of severity by the patients (Gruffydd-Jones, Nicholson, Best, & Connell, 1999). As with many chronic diseases, it is often those with poorer outcomes including adolescents, the elderly, ethnic minority groups and those of low socioeconomic background that do not readily attend.…”

Asthma is the most common chronic condition seen in primary care and creates a significant work load in both primary and secondary care. Mortality and morbidity remain unacceptably high as the majority of both are avoidable with optimal use of preventative medicines. It is not only good practice to regularly review every patient with a long-term condition, but when coupled with self-management regular reviews improve clinical outcomes. All patients with asthma should therefore have the opportunity of a review at least once a year in primary care, which should be structured, patient-centred and promote self-management with the aim to minimise symptoms and enable patients to live a normal life. This article aims to provide a pragmatic approach to performing this review as a primary care clinician.
