No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The evidence for poor inhaler technique is both well established and observed worldwide. What is unclear from the evidence is why individuals demonstrate poor technique, despite the majority admitting to having previously had instruction on inhaler technique. The primary research question is 'Will there be a difference between post education inhaler technique scores when comparing structured education against informal education?'

To try and establish why individuals use inhalers incorrectly a semi structured interview is proposed
