Target number of participants Not provided at time of registration
Interventions Subjects will be recruited opportunistically in primary care. On average each practice is expected to recruit between 80-90 individuals. Subjects who accept will then be randomised to receive or not receive spirometry at the start of the HTQ programme. Both groups will be assessed on generic quality of life (QoL) and anxiety. Practice nurses will be trained and administer all questionnaires and tests, for which they will receive a payment. At 12 months subjects in both groups will be reviewed and receive spirometry and repeat QoL and anxiety questionnaires.

Please note, this trial was stopped due to lack of funding.
