Guidelines recommend a multidimensional dyspnea assessment tool. We developed a validated 9-item scale, the Edmonton Dyspnea Inventory (EDI), in which dyspnea severity is rated across different settings including at rest, during activities of daily living, and self-reported exercise and crises. The standardized, multidimensional tool captures dyspnea intensity for specific contexts, which clinicians can use to manage dyspnea more individually and effectively. Early studies support the feasibility to use the EDI in outpatient settings. The purpose of this study was to explore perceptions of the EDI by community health care professionals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a qualitative study using an inductive approach and open coding for content analysis.
