Abstract
Population-based asthma screening is not cost-effective at $50,000 per QALY and has only a 20% chance of being cost-effective at $100,000 per QALY. The most efficient approach is to screen for previously diagnosed but poorly controlled asthma. Linking screening with better treatment, and long-term adherence strategies might yield future cost-effective approaches.
