The providers (8 MDs and 2 NPs) who participated in the study were 50% female, 60% Caucasian, 30% Asian, and 10% Black and had a mean age of 54 (range 36–73). They had an average of 17 years of practice (range 2 years to 43) and had been trained in a wide variety of locations. They each cared for an average of 34 patients (range 6–55). Providers were only aware of 2 tools to predict mortality in dialysis patients.

Subject recruitment and study procedures for the Genetics of Asthma in Costa Rica Study (GACRS) have been described in detail elsewhere [32, 33].

Asthma was defined as physician-diagnosed asthma and having either at least two respiratory symptoms (wheezing, coughing, or dyspnea) or a history of asthma exacerbations in the previous year.
