Asthma Control Test (ACT)

The Asthma Control Test (ACT) is a questionnaire used to assess how well asthma is managed in individuals. It typically consists of five questions related to symptoms, activity limitations, and the frequency of rescue inhaler use over the past month. The answers help healthcare providers understand the effectiveness of asthma treatment and identify areas that may need improvement. A higher score indicates better asthma control, while a lower score suggests uncontrolled asthma, allowing for timely adjustments to medications or lifestyle changes. This tool empowers patients and doctors to work together in managing asthma effectively.
