With the help of the Education and Public Subcommittee of the Asthma Alliance of North Carolina (AANC), the North Carolina Asthma Program has developed this asthma curriculum toolkit to help meet the current needs of children under the age of 5 and of the child care providers who care for them in North Carolina. Children under the age of 5 are of high priority within North Carolina, so providing asthma education information to those who care for them is also a high priority.
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.
