A partnership was formed between the University of Hawai'i at Hilo Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy (DKICP) and the Department of Health to carry out the Hawai'i Asthma Friendly Pharmacy Project (HAFPP), which utilizes pharmacy students as a workforce to administer Asthma Control Tests™ (ACT), and provide Asthma Action Plans (AAP) and inhaler technique education. Evaluation of data from a pilot project in 2008 with first and second year students prompted more intensive training in therapeutics, inhaler medication training, and communication techniques. Data collection began when two classes of students were first and second year students and continued until the students became fourth year students in their advanced experiential ambulatory care clinic and retail community pharmacy rotations. Patients seen included pediatric (32%) and adult (68%) aged individuals. Hawai'i County was the most common geographic site (50%) and most sites were retail pharmacies (72%). Administered ACT surveys (N=96) yielded a mean score of 19.64 (SD +/-3.89). In addition, 12% of patients had received previous ACT, and 47% had previous AAPs. Approximately 83% of patients received an additional intervention of AAP and inhaler education with 73% of these patients able to demonstrate back proper inhaler technique. Project challenges included timing of student training, revising curriculum and logistics of scheduling students to ensure consistent access to patients.
夏威夷大学希洛分校丹尼尔·K·伊努伊药学院（DKICP）与卫生部建立了合作伙伴关系，以开展夏威夷哮喘友好药房项目（HAFPP）。该项目利用药学专业学生作为劳动力，开展哮喘控制测试（ACT），并提供哮喘行动计划（AAP）和吸入器技术教育。对2008年一项针对大一和大二学生的试点项目数据的评估促使对治疗学、吸入器药物培训和沟通技巧进行更深入的培训。数据收集始于两类学生为大一和大二学生时，并持续到学生在其高级体验式门诊护理诊所和零售社区药房轮转中成为大四学生。就诊患者包括儿童（32%）和成人（68%）。夏威夷县是最常见的地理地点（50%），大多数地点是零售药房（72%）。所进行的ACT调查（N = 96）得出的平均分为19.64（标准差±3.89）。此外，12%的患者之前接受过ACT，47%的患者之前有过AAP。约83%的患者接受了AAP和吸入器教育的额外干预，其中73%的患者能够正确演示吸入器技术。项目挑战包括学生培训的时间安排、课程修订以及安排学生的后勤工作，以确保能持续接触到患者。
