Description
For all persons who were in scope and were ever diagnosed with asthma (ASTHMAEV or ASTHMARD) and used a quick relief prescription inhaler for asthma in the last 3 months (ASTHPINQUICK), ASTHCANGT3 reports if the person used more than three quick relief prescription inhaler canisters for their asthma in the past 3 months.
Collection frequency and timing for ASTHCANGT3 changes over time. This variable was collected annually in 2003-2006, 2018, 2019, and 2022 forward. In other years, this question was fielded more than once per year and those responses are recorded in the round-level variable ASTHCANGT3RD.
ASTHCANGT3 is one of several asthma-related questions included in the Priority Conditions Enumeration (PE) section. For a complete list of these variables, please see the variable description for ASTHMAEV.
