COM-B Asthma Questionnaire

Asthma is a common lung condition that cannot be cured, although usually it can be effectively controlled with available treatments. Yet, it is well recognised that 70% of patients are non-adherent to their asthma treatment.Personalising treatment by offering the most relevant interventions based on the patient's psychological/behavioural needs results in great success. However, health care providers have limited available resources to deliver a patient-centred approach to their psychological/behavioural needs, resulting in a current one-size-fits-all strategy due to the non-feasible nature of existing surveys.The solution would be to provide health care professionals with a clinically feasible questionnaire that identifies the patients personal psychological/behavioural factors to adherence.
