Calling all asthma professionals: what topics should future research focus on?

A European Union-funded project is creating a new action plan to outline research priorities in the field of asthma.

The European Asthma Research and Innovation Partnership (EARIP) will produce the action plan to inform the European Commission about which areas require urgent funding. The project is calling on all healthcare professionals working in the asthma field to share their insights on a range of areas including services, diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, prevention and policy.

Complete the survey to share your thoughts:
