Fig 1 Distribution of outcomes by high or low numeracy (A) and print literacy (B) over the observation period: a, adherence, b, asthma control, c, FEV1, and d, AQOL. High numeracy is a score greater than 2. Randomization occurred at visit 2. Adherence at any time point, for example, downloaded at visit 2, represents data downloaded at that visit and represents medicine-taking in the weeks preceding the visit.
