  • Description: Asthma is common in Canada, with a prevalence of 10.8%. Unfortunately, asthma is poorly controlled in at least half of patients. Since asthma is frequently encountered in primary care settings, family physicians are well positioned to optimize asthma management and improve outcomes. Recent years have seen the publication of new landmark asthma trials and updated Canadian asthma guidelines, as well as the regulatory approval of new asthma drug products and devices. Here, Crawley et al highlight some relevant updates for primary care. Choosing an asthma inhaler can be complex, but using a shared decision-making approach to find which inhaler characteristics are most important and best suited to an individual can help.
