A total of 38 questionnaires were distributed. Building A and Building B personnel completed 19 and 15 questionnaires, respectively. The return rate equaled 89.5% (n = 34). The typical respondent was a bachelor- or master’s-degree- prepared classroom teacher with 11 to 20 years of teaching experience. The majority (85.3%, n = 29) reported that they received no formal training on asthma during their coursework. only 32.4% (n = 11) reported having received training on asthma during teacher in-services at their current place of employment. Fifty percent (n = 17) of the teachers felt that they were unable to manage a child experiencing an acute asthma attack, with 29.4% (n = 10) feeling unsure of their capabilities. Twenty-nine (85.3%) of the participants reported that it would be helpful to have educational sessions on asthma. The range of correct knowledge scores varied from a minimum of 13 to a maximum of 23 correct answers of a possible 25. The mean score was 18.7 (SD = 2.2), or an average score of 75%, which equals a letter grade of “C” knowledge. The median score was 19; the mode was 18. Of the 34 teachers, 9 had placed an “x” at the top of their questionnaire indicating that they either had a degree in health care, had a child with asthma, had cared for an individual with asthma, or had been personally diagnosed with asthma. An independent Student’s test suggested that there was a statistically significant difference in knowledge scores between these 9 teachers and the remaining 25 teachers (Table 2). There was no significant difference in knowledge scores between the 14 teachers in Building A and the 11 teachers in Building B (Table 2).
