Abstract
The objective of this article is to examine the effectiveness of a culturally tailored asthma intervention in a sample of Latina mothers of children with asthma. Mothers (n = 115) participated in a community-based intervention designed to improve asthma outcomes in their children. Participants provided asthma knowledge and beliefs about asthma medications data pre- and post intervention. Maternal asthma knowledge increased during the intervention period, and certain changes in medication beliefs were moderated by poverty level, maternal educational level, acculturative stress, and depressive symptoms. Culturally tailored interventions can be effective, but participants with fewer resources may require more intensive intervention.
