- A new brochure, "Asthma: What Every Parent Should Know" is now available
- from The Asthma and Allergy Information Center. The brochure gives parents a
- basic overview of asthma, including symptoms, and an explanation of some of
- the underlying causes.
- Asthma affects approximately 4 million American children under the age of
- 18 years. According to new guidelines issued by the National Heart, Lung,
- and Blood Institute expert panel on asthma, early detection of asthma and
- patient education are essential to effective management of the condition. The
- new booklet explains these guidelines in easy to understand format for
- parents.
- An asthma resource booklet "Inspiration" is also available. It lists
- newsletters, support groups and publications that can provide even greater
- understanding about asthma and its treatment. Both booklets are yours free.
- Simply call the Asthma and Allergy Hotline at 800-727-5400 and request your
- copies. The hotline is open 24 hours a day.
