Trial overview
Official title: Study of barriers to adherence using the Adherence Starts with Knowledge 20 (ASK-20) in adult asthma patients receiving treatment with inhaled corticosteroid-containing drug products
Trial description: The aim of this study is to investigate the barriers to medication adherence using the Adherence Starts with Knowledge 20 (ASK-20) questionnaire in adult Japanese asthma patients who have received treatment with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)-containing drug products for at least 2 years.  In addition, the correlation of the ASK-20 total score with prescription rates of ICS-containing drug products (rate of actual amount prescribed versus theoretical amount of drug needed) will also be investigated.
