The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) believes your voice is valuable part of asthma research. And we want to empower people with asthma, caregivers and health care providers to take an active role in research. Promoting Asthma Patient Engagement in Research (PAPER) is a new research project from AAFA and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). Through this project, you can influence research that improves asthma understanding and treatment.

Asthma research methods have been changing during the past several years. Research is more effective when researchers and patients work together to better understand asthma and find new treatments. At the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), we feel your voice is valuable in asthma research. We support efforts to help you be an active part of the future of asthma management and treatments.

We need asthma research so experts can find and create new treatments for asthma, and hopefully a cure. Experts decide what research is needed by looking at the effects of asthma.

Some people are hesitant to participate in research. This may be because of fear of the unknown or from past stories. But today, patients have rights to protect them during research studies. Before you join a study, you will asked to sign an informed consent document.
