| Abstract |
To evaluate the impact of a curricular intervention concerning the knowledge about asthma among adolescents from a public school. This was a randomized, controlled trial study on a curricular intervention in asthma, carried out with asthmatic and non-asthmatic adolescents. The study participants were divided into a curricular intervention group for asthma (IG), and a control group with traditional curriculum (CG). Topics related to asthma were included in the curriculum, such as the disease concept, triggering factors, treatment, symptoms, action plan, and beliefs in popular myths about the disease. These topics were evaluated through a questionnaire with scores ranging from 0 to 20 points, expressed by the mean score. The acquisition of knowledge was evaluated 90 days and 540 days after the start of the intervention (baseline), by applying the mixed linear model for analysis of associations. 181 students participated in the study (IG=101 and CG=80). As shown by their scores before the intervention; the students were unaware about asthma (IG: x¯=10.7±2.9vs. CG: x¯=11.5±2.7 points), its treatment (IG: x¯=1.6±0.9vs. CG: x¯=1.6±0.8 points), and reported beliefs in popular myths about the disease (IG: x¯=1.5±1.1vs. CG: x¯=1.7±1.1 points). After the intervention, the IG showed higher overall knowledge (GI: x¯=15.5±3.1 points), as well as knowledge about the treatment (GI: x¯=2.5±1.0 points), and two times more knowledge in the field "beliefs in popular myths about the disease" when compared to the CG. A greater probability of achieving satisfactory knowledge about asthma was noted in the IG (RR=3.5), with NTT=2.0. The inclusion of the asthma topic in the curriculum improved knowledge about the disease in a subgroup of students. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 September 2018.
All research outputs
#17,292,294
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Jornal de Pediatria
#498
of 896 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#207,286
of 323,170 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Jornal de Pediatria
#28
of 36 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 896 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.6. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 323,170 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 36 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
