Adult With Asthma

Ask your healthcare provider to fill it out this Asthma Action Plan. This is a guide for preventing as well as treating symptoms, so follow it closely. Take inhaled corticosteroids daily (if prescribed) to control airway inflammation and reduce exposure to allergens and irritants (like secondhand smoke) that make asthma worse.

NHLBI 2 page Asthma Action Plan with triggers

A colorful one-page checklist of the most common sources and types of indoor air pollution and the simple, no or low-cost strategies for reducing exposure.

We developed this resource because many of the other in-home trigger and air quality check lists may be too long, cumbersome, and seem too involved to be effective.  We included colorful pictures to make the checklist more appealing when distributing at tabling events, health fairs, etc.
