Secondarily, the following will also be compared between the two study arms:
* the subdomains of the AQLQ score,
* lung function, overall asthma control and exacerbation rates,
* general health status via the Euroqol 5-domain 5-level questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L),
* adherence to the program and burden of the program for the medical team,
* major categories of direct health resource consumption.
Finally, because education intervention success may depend on patient-specific characteristics, an ancillary study will compare the following baseline traits between the 50% best intervention responders in either arm:
* the big five personality traits,
* the hospital anxiety and depression,
* coping mechanisms.
