    TEST YOUR ASTHMA CONTROL

    The ASTHMA CONTROL TEST™* is a way to help you and your healthcare provider determine if your asthma symptoms are well controlled. Answer the 5 questions below, print out the results, and then share them with your healthcare provider. Based on your score, he or she may suggest a variety of options to help manage your asthma.


    If you are 12 years or older, this short quiz will provide a score that you should share with your healthcare provider to help assess your treatment plan. The Childhood Asthma Control Test† is designed for children 4 to 11 years old.
