Read our Asthma research guide →This trial asks people who have already participated in a major lung disease study to give researchers permission to access their medical records — both past and future — for up to 10 years. By looking at your complete medical history, researchers hope to gain a much deeper understanding of how asthma and COPD develop, get worse, and respond to treatment. You'll also fill out a one-time questionnaire about your health.
Researchers want to follow patients' complete disease journeys over many years, not just during a short treatment period. This long-term view could reveal patterns that help doctors predict who is at highest risk, prevent disease progression, and develop better treatments for asthma and COPD.

If you qualify, researchers will ask you to sign a consent form allowing them to access your electronic medical records going forward. You'll also complete a one-time questionnaire about your health history. After that, the research team will quietly review your medical records over the next several years — you won't need to attend visits or take any new medications. Your existing medical care continues as normal.
