S L McGhan et al. J Pediatr Health Care. 1998 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

The "Roaring Adventures of Puff" (RAP) is a childhood asthma education program that targets children 7 to 12 years of age and their families. This program is designed to improve the quality of life of these children and improve asthma management for optimal asthma control. The program uses interactive educational strategies based on the principles of the Social Cognitive Theory. The article highlights aspects of the theory, provides an overview of the RAP program, and outlines some of the practical components of the program. RAP is an innovative program that is adaptable to a variety of settings and may serve as a health education model for children.
