Asthma in School Children: Educational Slides

Asthma in School Children Overview

Asthma affects nearly 5 million children in the United States. Asthma is the leading cause of school absences, resulting in a loss of 10 million school days. Many children must manage their asthma at school with medications or other preventive measures. Approximately 10% of children experience exercise-induced asthma. Asthma accounts for more hospitalizations in children than any other chronic illness.

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) has developed a school asthma educational slide set.  The slide presentations are available for public use. The slide presentations are discussed and available below.
