Asthma Control Test: Reliability, Validity, and Responsiveness in Patients Not Previously Followed by Asthma Specialists.

The article discusses research being done on asthma control test (ACT). It references a study by M. Schatz and colleagues in a 2006 issue of the "Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology." The study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of ACT and assess its responsiveness to changes in asthma control over time in patients who were new to the care of an asthma specialist. An overview of the study population is presented, as well as the methods, findings and conclusions. Reviewer comments are included.
