Standardized assessment of asthma control in patients ≥ 12 years old.

Routine follow-up in primary care or specialist asthma clinics (every 1–6 months).

To guide step-up or step-down management of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and long-acting beta-agonists (LABA).

To identify patients at high risk of acute asthma exacerbations.

The standard ACT is validated for ages 12 and older. For children aged 4–11, the Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT) should be utilized.
