Environmental Assessment/Checklist

Moms Clean Air Force has released a free e-book called Asthma Triggers: A Guide for Parents, Teachers, Doctors, and Nurses. We developed this e-book to help educate parents about the many simple things they can do to help reduce asthma triggers. We also wanted to highlight the links between asthma and air pollution, and the importance of strong clean air regulations to protect our children's lungs.

Asthma affects people of all ages, genders and socioeconomic status, but its occurs at disproportionately higher rates among some ethnic populations. The Hispanic/Latino population is one of the most affected in the US, with more than 3 million reported. Communication and language barriers are usually blamed. In this new website, Hispanic families can find answers about prevention, symptoms, medications and control. It also offers publications, fact sheets and brochures for free download.

Here in one location, you can find resources including clinical guidelines, patient education and self-management materials, policy briefs, asthma reports, clinical toolkits, mobile technology and asthma information, and smoking cessation and tobacco materials.

Many of the resources are available in both English and Spanish, and some in other languages, including Chinese. Also included are a variety of multimedia tools such as videos and interactive web sites. There are even links to asthma-related training courses where continuing education credits are available.
