Does Your Child Have Asthma?
Asthma is a long-term (chronic) disease that inflames and narrows the airways. It causes
shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness and coughing that usually occurs early morning or
night. The disease affects more that 25 million people with about 7 million being children
(NHLBI). I chose asthma because it is a disease that negatively affects many children. Families
need education about how to effectively manage asthma and the public needs education about the
environmental triggers for those who have it.
Asthma is difficult to diagnose before the age of five, risk factors for asthma include
allergies, eczema (allergic skin condition), and parent(s) that has asthma. The most important
aspects of the management of asthma are avoiding triggers, following the appropriate medication
regimen, and having an asthma action plan. The morbidity of children with asthma leads to many
missed days of school and increased visits to emergency rooms. This brochure presents essential
facts about asthma and provides reliable resources for individuals to obtain more detailed
information regarding asthma, its effects, and management of symptoms.
Providing educational per a medium such as a brochure helps teach the public without
overwhelming the reader. There are suggested guidelines to follow when creating a health
literature. Health literacy is lower in the general population, so the material should be presented
at a fifth-grade reading level. The number of key points should be limited and common language
should be used in clear, concise sentences, using at least a 12-point font. Additional guidelines
include using headings, presenting information in bullet point format, and presenting additional
resources for the reader to access for more information (Sandridge, 2016). 3
Conclusion
Health literacy is the degree in which patients can comprehend verbal and written
information related to their care so they can make informed decisions about diagnostic test and
treatments (Sandridge, 2016). Providing educational material to the public contributes to the
overall health of communities because knowledge is essential to promoting and maintaining
health. 4 5 ASTHMA FACTS 6 References
