National Asthma Education and Prevention Program Slide Shows

The School Asthma Educational Slide set is in 2 parts.

Part 1 presents background information about the growing problem of asthma in the United States. It reviews what asthma is and what school staff should know about helping students to manage their asthma, including eliminating common triggers and recognizing the early warning signs of asthma episodes (attacks).

Part 2 outlines 5 goals important for good asthma management in schools. Each goal is followed by specific actions that school staff can take to move them closer toward achieving that goal. These slides provide guidance to a school staff ready to make changes toward a more asthma-friendly school environment.
