Abstract

We investigated the concordance between adolescents’ perceived and impairment-related asthma control. Based on self-reported medication use, symptoms, and activity limitations, most overestimated their impairment-related control (73.8%). Providers should ask detailed, structured questions to get the most comprehensive picture of a patient’s impairment-related control so they can ultimately improve disease outcomes.
