  • Final validation involved 108 asthmatics, 83 non-asthmatics, and 203 medical students.

    • Main Results:

    • The questionnaire demonstrated good clarity and comprehensibility.
    • Statistically significant differences in scores were observed between asthmatics, non-asthmatics, and students (p < 0.0001).
    • High reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.82) and reproducibility (ICC = 0.70) were confirmed.

    Conclusions:

    • A validated French asthma knowledge questionnaire is now available.
