In this newsletter we invite you to seize numerous opportunities to get involved, ensuring patient and caregiver voices are heard and valued throughout global collaborative endeavors.

The CAAT™ Governance Board resolved to rename CAT ™  ( the COPD Assessment Test) to CAAT™ representing its application in chronic airways conditions beyond COPD. The CAAT website (https://gaapp.org/caat-cat/) includes a revised User Guide and Implementation Guide for CAAT users. Sponsors of new studies are encouraged to use the CAAT but existing studies/systems should continue to use the CAT during the transition period before Regulatory agencies are informed.

We are grateful to Phyliss DiLorenzo a COPD patient advocate describing her experience using the CAT to manage her health. Check our her story here.
