Clinical research and knowledge transfer unit on childhood asthma (CRUCA)

New measures of prescription patterns and adherence to treatment among asthmatic patients.

This research project is meant to provide meaningful and effective monitoring tools that could be used in epidemiological drug studies (drugs served to the level of the population) and in intervention studies aimed at improving the prescription and drug compliance in chronic diseases such as asthma.
