EPA and Ad Council release latest Asthma Media Campaign
The
EPA, along with the Ad Council, is launching the second phase of the Childhood Asthma
Campaign, featuring a new round of
Public Service
Announcements for television and radio. This campaign sustains EPA's
efforts to inform parents of children with asthma that serious asthma
attacks can be prevented, and to motivate them to take action to reduce
asthma triggers in their own homes.
In a recent survey, EPA found that more than two-thirds of the people
with asthma did not have a written asthma action plan. Asthma affects
more than 20 million people, including over 6 million children and is a
leading cause of emergency room visits and school absenteeism. Although
there is no known cure for asthma, there are steps parents can take to
help reduce asthma attacks. These include working with a doctor to
develop a written asthma management plan. This plan should contain
information about asthma medications and steps to take during an asthma
emergency. It also should provide details about asthma triggers that can
cause an asthma attack.

Children appreciate all their parents do for them and keeping a smoke-free home is one of the most important for children's health.
To motivate mothers and others to make their homes smoke-free, the Consumer Federation of America Foundation, the American Medical Association
and the US Environmental Protection Agency launched the "My Mom's My Hero" public service announcement for TV and radio.
This third wave of the Secondhand Smoke Public Service Announcement ask parents to protect their children's health by smoking outside and pledge
to keep their home and car smoke-free.
Making your home and car smoke-free can help protect children from bronchitis, pneumonia, more frequent and more severe asthma attacks,
respiratory illnesses, ear infections and even sudden infant death syndrome. Go outside for your kids, you’re their hero.

Home Pledge online today!
