*3.3.5 Medication use: Inhaler technique and adherence.*

A medication education program for children and their parents contributed to an improvement in inhaler technique and self-reported adherence to the prescribed medication [18]. Besides, Celano et al. showed that, at follow-up, a greater proportion of children who received a home-based family intervention demonstrated adequate technique as compared to children in the usual care group (84%; 44%; p = .019 respectively) [15]. A recent RCT showed that a six-month family empowerment intervention improved inhalation techniques in children with asthma [26]. However, the same intervention was not effective in enhancing medication adherence.
