The Asthma and Allergy Foundation has launched a national public service campaign titled “Two Main Causes of Asthma.” The goal of the campaign is to communicate a message to the millions of Americans with asthma that treating the two main causes of asthma symptoms may help prevent those symptoms before they begin. According to the association, which is based in Landover, every day in America, because of asthma, 60,000 people miss school or work, 30,000 have an attack, 5,000 visit an ER and 1,000 are admitted to the hospital.
The campaign is designed to encourage those with asthma to find information and resources about asthma and learn how to work with their doctor to prevent symptoms.
