Headline: |
Systematic review suggests that psycho-educational interventions may reduce hospital admissions among adults and children with severe asthma and improve children's symptoms, but benefits might not extend to those with more difficult asthma; there is limited evidence of effects on other outcomes and a lack of data on costs. |
