TL;DR
Two factors, selection of the patient population and historical changes in asthma treatment, most likely contributed to the lack of impact of the self-management programs and improved standards for usual care due to both factors meant the opportunity to effect patient outcomes was substantially reduced.
Abstract
The results are inconsistent with the results of the first asthma self-management study at this institution and with those of efficacy studies of similar programs. Two factors, selection of the patient population and historical changes in asthma treatment, most likely contributed to the lack of impact of the self-management programs. As a result of the improved standards for usual care due to both factors, the opportunity to effect patient outcomes was substantially reduced.

The psychometric properties and predictive validity of a structured four-item self-reported adherence measure (alpha reliability = 0.61) are tested, which can be easily integrated into the medical visit and address barriers to medication-taking.

PubMedThe prevalence and incidence of asthma and asthma-like symptoms in a general population sample.

The label "asthmatic bronchitis" appears to be a reasonable descriptive term for this syndrome, as the incidence of asthma was greatest in young children, was least in late adolescence, and increased again in early adult life.

62 Citations1992William C. Bailey, Darlene M. Higgins +2 more
Asthma severity appears to be multidimensional rather than unidimensional, including at least three components, and the physician rating scale could easily be included in other asthma research protocols to provide a standard, brief assessment of asthma severity and might thus promote greater comparability among studies.
