Asthma Therapy Assessment Questionnaire (ATAQ)
Asthma-specific
Measure domains: Control; Attitude/behavior, Self-efficacy, Patient-provider communication
Summary of development: Researchers used focus groups and experts to come up with the items for the measure. Parents of children with asthma were identified by a managed care organization through pharmacy claims and hospitalizations for asthma. The identified parents were mailed surveys and completed a follow-up telephone survey. Originally 20 items, it was reduced to 14, and there is a short version with 7 items.
