Background: In 1991, an intervention trial of the efficacy of an asthma self‐management plan was carried out in partnership with a rural Mäori community. The program relied on Mäori community health workers and other health professionals working in partnership, was delivered through clinics in traditional Mäori community centres and Mäori processes were followed throughout. The plan was shown to be effective in reducing asthma morbidity.
