Introduction: This comparative correlational study investigated families who use the emergency department for childhood asthma to identify determinants of follow-up care. The primary hypothesis was: families who obtain follow-up care differ in predisposing, enabling, and need characteristics from families who do not obtain follow-up care.
Method: A convenience sample of 63 children presenting to the pediatric emergency department of a Central Florida hospital were enrolled.
