Title: Costs and Effects of Three Modes for Disease Management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in General Practice. A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Regular Practice Nurse Review, Self-management Education and Usual Care
Brief Summary: In this randomized controlled trial, three contemporary modes for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management in Dutch general practices are compared for costs and effects:

* usual general practitioner (GP) care (at patient's initiative);
* regular practice nurse review; and
* integrated self-management education.

All three interventions are based on existing guidelines, materials, and field experiences.
