Consider where you stand

While your severe asthma may feel manageable now, it can worsen over time. Take this short questionnaire and share the results at your next doctor’s appointment to help assess your level of asthma control.

  • Be used to help assess asthma control in children younger than 12 years of age
  • Take the place of advice or treatments given to you by your doctor

What Does My AIRQ® Score Mean?

The AIRQ® is meant to help your healthcare providers talk with you about your asthma control. The AIRQ® does not diagnose asthma. Whatever your AIRQ® score (total YES answers), it is important for your healthcare team to discuss the number and answers to each of the questions with you. All patients with asthma, even those who may be well controlled, can have an asthma attack. As asthma control worsens, the chance of an asthma attack increases.1 Only your medical provider can decide how best to assess and treat your asthma.
