Respiratory Adherence Care Enhancer Questionnaire: Identifying Self-Management Barriers of Inhalation Corticosteroids in Asthma.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Suboptimal self-management of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in asthma patients is frequently observed in clinical practice and associated with poor asthma control. Driving factors for suboptimal self-management are complex and consist of a range of behavioral barriers (cognitive, affective and practical) with a considerable inter-individual variability. Identification of individual barriers facilitates the use of corresponding behavior change techniques and tailored care to improve asthma treatment outcomes. Objective: This study describes the development and validation of the 'Respiratory Adherence Care Enhancer' (RACE) questionnaire to identify individual barriers to self-management of ICS therapy in asthma patients. Methods: The development included: 1
