Adults Living with Chronic Cough Study

This study looks at how adults with chronic cough are being cared for. We want to learn how chronic cough affects other health problems and whether certain symptoms can help predict which treatments work best. Adults can join if they have had a cough for a long time (longer than 8 weeks) and feel it is not well managed. People in the study will fill out surveys about their health, symptoms, and medical care at the beginning of the study and again 3 months later. We will also review their medical records to better understand how their cough has been tested and treated.
