    Childhood Asthma Control Test

    The Childhood Asthma Control Test is designed for use with children from 4 to 11 years of age. It offers an assessment of how well
    you/your child’s asthma has been controlled over the previous month. Asthma is a condition which varies from day to day and month
    to month so you/your child’s level of control may not always be the same. It is a good idea to carry out this assessment every now and
    again especially if you/your child have been having more asthma symptoms than usual.

    If you/your child’s asthma is not well controlled you/your child may be at risk of having an asthma attack

    How to take the Childhood Asthma Control Test


    Step 1: Let your child respond to the first four questions (1 to 4). If your child needs help reading or understanding the question, you may help, but let your
    child select the response. For each question, make sure your child considers all four possible answers before choosing the best one for him or her.

    Step 2: Complete the remaining three questions (5 to 7) on your own and without letting your child’s response influence your answers. There are no right or
    wrong answers. For each question, make sure you consider all six possible answers before choosing the best one.

    Step 3: Add up the score from each answer.

    Your child should complete these questions.
