Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relative effectiveness of two different ways to teach subjects while hospitalized how to use respiratory inhalers and to follow-up after discharge home from the hospital to determine durability of the education. Teach-to-Goal (TTG) education employs instruction followed by patient "teach-back," then repeated cycles of learning and assessment until a skill is mastered. By contrast, Brief Intervention (BI) education only consists of providing the patient with verbal and written instruction. The investigators hypothesize that hospital-based TTG compared to BI increases a patient's ability to retain instructions on respiratory inhaler technique. The investigators will test this hypothesis separately for the MDI and Diskus® devices after discharge.

Primary Outcome

To evaluate the relative effectiveness of hospital-based TTG versus BI on patients' ability to retain instruction about the correct use of MDI Devices one month after discharge home.
