Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate two distinct asthma knowledge questionnaires.
  • To create a Consumer Questionnaire (CQ) and a Health care professional Questionnaire (HQ).

Main Methods:

  • Questionnaires were developed, pilot-tested, and revised.
  • The revised CQ and HQ were administered to diverse groups including respiratory physicians, pharmacists, and individuals with and without asthma.

Main Results:

  • Both the CQ and HQ demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach's alpha 0.78 and 0.92, respectively).

  • Excellent content, face, construct, and discriminant validity were confirmed for both questionnaires.

    • Conclusions:

    • The CQ and HQ are simple, valid, and reliable instruments for assessing asthma knowledge.
    • These tools can effectively guide educational resource allocation for consumers and healthcare professionals.
    • Further research is recommended to evaluate the clinical utility of these instruments.
