In 2020, the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) updated its guidelines for asthma management, incorporating significant changes. This marked the first update since 2007. A recent study revealed that >280 providers of the new asthma guidelines had an average knowledge score of <45%, indicating that these guidelines have likely not been fully incorporated into their practice. We invite you to join us as we discuss the new guidelines and explore strategies for integrating them into your practice.
