Computer-based education in schools is not novel. However, only a few computer games have been introduced into school-based health education programs. This study describes inclusion of an asthma education space adventure game into fourth-grade classrooms. Using the game improved asthma knowledge in the intervention classes. Children in the active participation classroom gained significantly more asthma knowledge over the observation period compared to the classroom that did not play the computer game. Knowledge gained was retained over a four-week period and the addition of physician-led talks appeared to add little to the knowledge gained. "Air Academy: The Quest for Airtopia" is an easy and successful tool for elementary grade asthma-related health education in schools.
