title: Non-adherence to medication in asthma.
abstract: Asthma morbidity and mortality continues to be high. One of the main reasons for this is non-adherence with medication. A health promotion strategy using Becker's Health Belief Model may help devise methods to improve adherence. Audit is vital to monitor the quality of services provided and ensure good standards of practice are maintained.
