The 2009 Asthma Burden Report provides information about the prevalence of asthma among children and adults, asthma hospitalizations (including the Medicaid population), mortality and the cost of asthma. Data about the mortality and morbidity of asthma in Pennsylvania were compared to the Healthy People 2010 objectives where applicable. This report also provides information state-wide and at a health district and county levels (where appropriate) to assist public health programs and policy makers in designing solutions for the reduction of the burden of asthma in Pennsylvania. |

We are proud to be able to provide you with a free downloadable copy of the Pennsylvania Pediatric Asthma Toolkit! The Philadelphia Allies Against Asthma (PAAA) Coalition and the Pennsylvania Department of Health have developed the Pennsylvania Pediatric Asthma Toolkit. The goal in developing this toolkit is to improve asthma education resources among community-based organizations, primary care providers, and schools. This toolkit has been designed to provide you with tools and information to educate your communities, patients, and students about asthma. This toolkit is now being distributed state-wide through the Pennsylvania Asthma Partnership, which is managed by the American Lung Association of Pennsylvania and is funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Health through a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. |
