Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to determine whether the systematic education on air way disease and inhalers in outpatient settings contributes to improve the quality of life. Education has been known to be effective for management of chronic airway disease. However, the real benefits remain unclear. An organized education on the chronic airway disease is directed by primary care physicians, and the investigators evaluate the effectiveness of the education.
