Harrison P, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to analyze the association between indicators of socioeconomic status (SES) and prescription of a paediatric individualised asthma action plan (IAAP), as well as compliance with that plan. Parents/carers of children (aged 2 to 16 years) who presented with acute respiratory symptoms and a prior diagnosis of asthma to the emergency department at one regional and one metropolitan hospital in NSW, Australia, were invited to partake in a questionnaire-based study between May and September 2017. In total, 175 eligible candidates were identified, 113 of which completed the questionnaire. IAAP ownership rates remain well below published guidelines although relatively high in the study sample. Considering the income-based difference in plan ownership, all asthmatics need to be regularly treated by physicians. It would be worthwhile strategies for ensuring ownership of IAAP and promoting its use, especially in the public health sector. Repeating a similar study with a larger sample size would allow more concrete conclusions to be drawn about parental SES' effect on compliance.
