The AIS-6 is designed to consider the burden of asthma as it affects performance in regular daily activities, social and emotional functioning, and productivity at work or home. It is currently available with a standard four-week recall period.
The survey is well-suited for use in settings that range from everyday clinical practice to disease management programs and clinical trials. Allowing for a comprehensive analysis of asthma impact, it has proven beneficial for a wide variety of users, including physicians, payers, clinical researchers, public health analysts, and health care policymakers.
