The Integrated Care of Asthma in Switzerland (INCAS)-study: Patients' perspective of received asthma care and their interest in asthma education.

CONCLUSIONS: More than half of the patients were interested in asthma education. Interest was associated with worse asthma control and lower receipt of care according to the Chronic Care Model. Considering these aspects help to improve care quality and allow targeting interventions to those patients, who are interested in becoming active participants in their care and who might benefit most.
