    Citation Excerpt :

    In view of the demonstrated associations between inhaler misuse, poor asthma outcomes and their contribution to the economic burden of asthma, concerted efforts to check and reinforce good inhaler technique are crucial. Previous studies have shown that training leads to better inhaler technique together with improved asthma control [6,52,65,66], and significant cost savings [65]. Improving patients’ inhaler knowledge and skills requires prescribers knowing how to use different devices correctly and in them choosing the most appropriate device to suit individual patient needs [3].
