Asthma Control Test:

The University Health and Medical Services Health (UHMS) and the School of Health Profession's Brenda Pillors Asthma Education Program are partnering to bring asthma-related services to LIU students and staff. The Health and Medical Services now has the ability to monitor your asthma control via the Asthma Control Test (ACT). This is a brief written questionnaire that measures how well your asthma is controlled. Those whose asthma is not well controlled or very poorly controlled will be offered a cost free referral to the Brenda Pillors Asthma Education Program here at LIU. A certified asthma educator will assist you in the self-management of your asthma. We are developing a procedure to help identify those who may have asthma-like symptoms using a questionnaire and a simple breathing test (spirometry). A UHMS physician will interpret your tests and advise you on treatment options. Survey have been available on-site since March 1, 2010. Click here for more Information
