dc.description.abstract | Asthma accounts for an estimated 3 million workdays lost each year in the United States in addition to reduced worker productivity. Although asthma disease management programs are relatively common in managed care organizations, they have generally not been offered at the workplace. Seventy-six employees participated in a five-session worksite-based asthma education program. A total of 47 of 76 (61.8%) employees completed baseline and 12-month follow-up Asthma Therapy Assessment Questionnaires (ATAQ). The ATAQ includes measurement of poor asthma control, behavior/attitude barriers, knowledge barriers, patient/provider communication barriers, and efficiency. Significant improvement was noted in measures of asthma control (p < 0.05), communication (p < 0.005), knowledge (p < 0.001), and the total ATAQ Index declined from 5.53 to 4.04 (p < 0.001). Employee satisfaction results for the program were exceptionally high. A worksite-based asthma education program should reduce medical care costs, worker absenteeism, and improve worker productivity. The worksite can be a very effective location for disease education programs. | en_US |
