Asthma Curriculum Survey Results from 485 K–8th Grade Students

485 survey responses collected from Kindergarten through 8th grade students in three Chicago schools after a one-session asthma curriculum. The dataset likely contains student-reported asthma knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy scores, analyzed by Caroline Luff. The data was last updated on April 9, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze differences in asthma knowledge between younger and older students based on survey results.
• Compare attitudes about asthma care and physical activity participation between students with and without asthma.
• Evaluate the impact of a single educational session on student self-efficacy to help classmates.
• Assess the feasibility and outcomes of school-based asthma education for all K–8th grade students.

Strengths

• Survey includes responses from 485 students across Kindergarten through 8th grade.
• 19% of surveyed students reported having asthma, providing a comparison group.
• Results include specific percentages for knowledge questions (e.g., 90% correct on medication use) and statistical significance (p-values).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the three Chicago schools studied.
