The asthma intervention strategies are described separately below.  Each of these strategies is most effective when it is combined with other strategies. For example, changing knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs will do little to prevent or manage asthma if there are no policies in place to minimize air pollution. Similarly, changing knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs will not be as effective if there is not social support for identifying and addressing asthma symptoms.

As described in Readiness and Preparation, it is important to make sure that the intervention strategies are created to represent and address the needs of the Population. This may include paying attention to how different groups think about asthma symptoms and their management. Furthermore, an intervention works best when there is an attempt to address language, reading level, and cultural barriers (see Cultural Competence for more information).
