Abstract

Many asthma patients suffer from poor control, are not frequently evaluated by spirometry, and historically have underestimated the severity of their symptoms when reporting them to providers. Asthma questionnaires can be used regularly to establish asthma severity, which can serve as a basis for appropriate management of asthma. This project aimed to motivate and/or educate staff at Hinesburg Family Practice to disseminate the ATAQ and TRACK asthma control questionnaires to youth with asthma.
