Improving asthma control: general practice strategies to optimise medication adherence

哮喘是澳大利亚的一个主要健康问题。许多患者经常出现症状，需要紧急医疗护理，因为他们没有定期使用预防性吸入器。这可能是有意的，例如对副作用的恐惧，以及-或无意的，例如遗忘。这项现实生活中的研究将测试两种简单的策略，让全科医生改善患者对预防药物的使用，以改善哮喘控制。创新技术将允许全科医生在正常就诊期间为每个患者量身定做方法。

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.
