Rationale
This project considers the use of population health surveys to provide information on management strategies used by people with asthma, and the socio-economic determinants of access to and use of asthma care.
Aim
Provide information on management strategies used by people with asthma, and the socio-economic determinants of access to and use of asthma care.

Secondary analysis of the NSW 2003/04 population health survey has been undertaken, the data collection on medication use is problematic. The analysis is to be repeated using the 2006 NSW population health survey as soon as it is released.
