Free tools and resources to help manage your asthma:

Asthma Peak Flow Worksheet
This worksheet is designed to help you track your expiratory peak flow and then share this information with your healthcare provider. Tracking your peak flow can help you to better understand when your asthma is and is not under control. By sharing this with your doctor, you can help enhance communication with him/her, allowing him/her to determine the best treatment option(s) for you.

Asthma Symptoms Diary
Similar to the Asthma Peak Flow Worksheet, the Asthma Symptoms Diary is designed to help you monitor and record your asthma symptoms and identify potential asthma triggers (e.g., physical exertion, exposure to irritants or allergens, other medications taken, etc.). It also allows you to learn about, recognize, and gauge any side effects you may experience while on asthma medication or medications. It is important to share your asthma symptoms diary with your physician so that he/she can determine the best treatment option(s) for you.

Compliance Checklist
According to the Global Asthma Physician and Patient (GAPP) Survey, almost 1 out of 4 adult patients with asthma estimate that no time during office visits is spent discussing techniques for successful asthma management. This document contains a simple checklist that can help foster communication with your physician about your asthma management, which may lead to improved asthma control.

This document provides an overview of key facts from the Global Asthma Physician and Patient (GAPP) Survey, highlighting common communication barriers between asthma patients and their doctors.
