Funded Activity Summary

Asthma is a major health problem for Australia. Many patients have frequent symptoms and need urgent health care because they do not use a preventer inhaler regularly. This may be intentional e.g. fear of side-effects, and-or unintentional e.g. forgetting. This real-life study will test two simple strategies for GPs to improve their patients' use of preventer medications, to improve asthma control. Innovative technology will allow GPs to tailor the approach to each patient during a normal visit.
