Metrics details. Asthma is a major cause of disability, health resource utilization and poor quality of life world-wide. We set out to generate estimates of the global burden of asthma in adults, which may inform the development of strategies to address this common disease. A total of , individuals from 70 countries aged 18 to 45 years responded to questions related to asthma and related symptoms. This study provides a global estimate of the burden of asthma in adults, and suggests that asthma continues to be a major public health concern worldwide. The high prevalence of smoking remains a major barrier to combating the global burden of asthma.

Young Adult Survey Instrument Structure and Content
Other sections of the questionnaire were tailored for this cohort. One important part of the design process was to review the NLSY79 questionnaire to consider where Young Adults could be asked questions that were essentially the same as those that had been asked of their mothers in their first survey round. Other years of the NLSY79 were also reviewed for questions to include.





Over 4, people completed the survey and we want to thank them all. Two large technical reports describing the initial Adult Survey findings have been completed and are available on the Fact Sheets and Summaries and Study Report pages. A number of Adult Survey participants have since undertaken clinical assessments as part of the Respiratory or Cardiovascular Streams, or a follow up survey as part of the Psychological Impacts Stream. A large number of Adult Survey participants also consented to the researchers accessing their Medicare, Ambulance Victoria, Hospital, Cancer Registry and future death data.
