	abstract = {The purpose of this study was to evaluate a one week summer day camp for children ages 7-12 who have moderate to severe asthma. Thirty-six multi-ethnic children were accepted into Camp RAD where a special curriculum and activity schedule was used. The children and their parents completed questionnaires prior to camp, again the last day of camp, and one year following the camp. The data provided from the questionnaires was evaluated using SPSS; a computer program designed to do sophisticated statistical analysis. Paired t-tests were performed on knowledge and self-efficacy pre-test, post-test, and follow-up data. Asthma knowledge and asthma self-efficacy were significantly increased immediately following camp (p = 0.002 and p = 0.017 respectively). Further evaluation indicated that there was not a significant change in asthma knowledge or asthma self-efficacy at three months following camp. Subjective data collected from the camper's parents indicated that there was a decrease in the number of negative health and social outcomes that children diagnosed with asthma experienced including emergency room visits, hospitalizations and days missed from school.},
