2Does Your Child Have Asthma?Asthma is a long-term (chronic) disease that inflames and narrows the airways.It causesshortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness and coughing that usually occurs early morning ornight. The disease affects more that 25 million people with about 7 million being children(NHLBI).I chose asthma because it is a disease that negatively affects many children. Familiesneed education about how to effectively manage asthma and the public needs education about theenvironmental triggers for those who have it.Asthma is difficult to diagnose before the age of five, risk factors for asthma includeallergies, eczema (allergic skin condition), and parent(s) that has asthma. The most importantaspects of the management of asthma are avoiding triggers, following the appropriate medicationregimen, and having an asthma action plan. The morbidity of children with asthma leads to manymissed days of school and increased visits to emergency rooms.This brochure presents essentialfacts about asthma and provides reliable resources for individuals to obtain more detailedinformation regarding asthma, its effects, and management of symptoms.Providing educational per a medium such as a brochure helps teach the public withoutoverwhelming the reader. There are suggested guidelines to follow when creating a healthliterature. Health literacy is lower in the general population, so the material should be presentedat a fifth-grade reading level. The number of key points should be limited and common languageshould be used in clear, concise sentences, using at least a 12-point font. Additional guidelinesinclude using headings, presenting information in bullet point format, and presenting additionalresources for the reader to access for more information (Sandridge, 2016).
