Asthma is a chronic disease with symptoms that can
change from day to day. Many asthma patients get used to having
symptoms and do not realize that their asthma CAN be controlled.
The following information will help you determine if your asthma
is under control. It will also help you determine if you have learned
what you need to know about asthma, your medications, and treatment
options.
This information is provided by the Chicago Asthma
Consortium, a group of over 300 health professionals, patients,
lay persons and pharma-ceutical representatives dedicated to fighting
asthma in Chicago.
The Chicago Asthma Consortium is a collaborative
community project of the American Lung Association of Metropolitan
Chicago and the American College of Chest Physicians and is fund-ed
by the Otho S. A. Sprague Memorial Institute.
This self-evaluation is based on Guidelines for
Diagnosis and Management of Asthma: The Expert Panel 2, National
Asthma Education and Prevention Program, 1997 revision.
