RANDOMIZED
PARALLEL
Patients at high risk for infection, or those presenting with a very severe clinical presentation were excluded.
Taking into account the non-invasive nature of the educational intervention, and the need to reduce the risk of spread of COVID19 virus (sharing pens or papers), a verbal consent was obtained.
Enrolled participants were randomized using simple randomization into two groups; odd numbers for the control group (received a verbal TTG education on their inhaler technique) and even numbers for the intervention group ( received a video based TTG education). The primary and secondary outcomes of the study were inhaler technique mastery, amelioration of disease control, disease related quality of life and medication adherence at follow-up (after 3 months).

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control
Standard verbal teach to goal inhaler technique education
Verbal teach to goal education
Participants were showed how to use correctly their inhalers and then asked again to show the technique. For each incorrect step, the patients were corrected and asked to repeat the steps until they mastered the technique. This process was repeated a maximum of three times.
Intervention
Video based teach to goal inhaler technique education
Video based teach to goal education
Participants were educated by the a video-based teach to goal method. using a smartphone, an educational video illustrating the correct technique for each of the inhalers used by the patient was displayed. After watching the video, the patients were asked to show again how to use their inhaler and for each wrong step the video was displayed again until mastering the correct technique a maximum of three times. At the end of the interview participants in the intervention group received a copy of the video via WhatsApp and were all invited to watch the video whenever needed.
