简要总结
The investigators looked at the effect that video instruction located at www.useinhalers.com would have on improving inhaler technique at a hospital in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The investigators compared this video instruction to written Spanish inhaler education. The investigators video taped participants before and after the intervention, and graded their technique on a pre-defined rubric.
