Asthma Control Questionnaire, ACQ5, Asthma Australia

Understand your asthma with the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ5)

Asthma can be a frustrating and unpredictable condition. It can make it difficult to breathe, exercise, and sleep.

One simple tool for managing asthma is the Asthma Control Questionnaire. It is a recognised clinical asthma symptom measurement tool in Australia and internationally.

Why should you take the Asthma Control Questionnaire?

This is a simple, quick, 5 – question survey that can help you assess how well your asthma is under control.

It helps you understand your asthma symptoms and track your progress over time. If you find out your asthma is not under control, you can talk to your doctor about it. They will work with you to find the right treatment for you.

Who can complete the Questionnaire?

The Asthma Control Questionnaire is suitable for anyone with asthma aged 12 years and older. 

For kids aged 7 to 11 years, it’s better for parents or carers to contact our Asthma Educators to complete the questionnaire together.
