National Asthma Control Program : improving quality of life and reducing costs 2010

Improving the quality of life & reducing deaths and costs. Every year almost 4,000 Americans die from asthma. Asthma’s impact on health, quality of life, and the economy is substantial. The initial onset of asthma cannot be prevented and asthma cannot be cured, but it can be controlled. People who have asthma can lead high-quality, productive lives by following a medical management plan and avoiding contact with environmental triggers. CS212998
