Video-based teach-to-goal intervention on inhaler technique on adults with asthma and COPD: A randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Incorrect use of inhalers is a problem associated with poor patient outcomes. Despite improvement in the technique after verbal educations, this deteriorates over-time requiring re-enforcement through different educative strategies.
