The Native American Asthma Radio Campaign was developed in partnership between the AdCouncil and Environmental Protection Agency and designed to raise awareness of childhood asthma and help prevent asthma attacks in Native American communities.

The culturally-tailored radio spots are available in three tribal languages (Anishinaabe, Lakota, and Navajo), which represent languages used among Native American speakers. Native American children are featured in these spots - speaking and performing in their native languages for the radio public service advertisements (PSA). Each PSA has been designed to be broadcast in Native American communities to help raise awareness and promote action to improve asthma outcomes.

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.

This is a series of asthma education tools for use by physicians and their staff to train patients to manage their own asthma. It uses problem-based learning and provides practice to providers.
