The ACQ was developed to measure the adequacy of asthma control in clinical research and in clinical practice. It includes 5 questions about symptoms, 1 question about beta 2 -agonist use and 1 about lung function (FEV1% predicted). Participants recall their experiences during the previous 7 days and respond to each question using a 7-point scale. The items are equally weighted and the ACQ score is the mean of 7 items and ranges between 0 (well controlled) and 6 (extremely poorly controlled). Mean scores of =\<0.75 indicate well-controlled asthma, scores between 0.76 and \< 1.5 indicate partly controlled asthma, and a score \>= 1.5 indicates uncontrolled asthma.
