Development of an educational intervention to reduce the burden of adult chronic lung disease in rural India: Inputs from a qualitative study.
<h4>Background</h4>Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) are major causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide with a substantial burden of the disease being borne by the low and middle income countries (LMICs). Interventions to change health behaviour which aim to improve the quality of l...
