Primary Outcome Measures:

To demonstrate whether subjects respond similarly to the Onset of Effect Questionnaire (OEQ) items 2 and 5 using a 1 week recall period versus a 1 day recall period.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

To demonstrate the value to subjects of feeling an asthma maintenance medication begins to work right away; to assess the correlation between subject's responses to weekly/daily Onset of Effect Questionnaires with lung function and with diary variables.
