Mitigating Chronic Respiratory Disease Through the Lens of Multimorbidity

The investigators aim to evaluate whether it is feasible for healthcare professionals to implement a case-finding tool to identify individuals at high risk for chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) during routine care for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in primary healthcare services in Brazil. The investigators will complete a cross-sectional observational study involving 20 healthcare professionals (physicians, physiotherapists, community health agents, and nurses) from five primary healthcare services who will apply the COLA-6 tool during routine NCD care. A total sample of 1,000 patients is expected. Qualitative interviews will be conducted with healthcare professionals to explore barriers and facilitators to implementing COLA-6 in clinical practice.
