Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Our study will enroll 644 randomly-selected Canadians who have been diagnosed with asthma by a physician within the previous five years. It will be determined what diagnostic tests were initially performed to make this diagnosis. Participants will undergo lung function testing over 6-8 weeks to determine their respiratory status and to confirm they have asthma. Participants may be followed up to one year depending on their test results.
