National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP)
NAEPP was initiated in March 1989 to address the growing problem of asthma in the United States. The goals of NAEPP are to: raise awareness of patients, health professionals and the public that asthma is a serious chronic disease; ensure the recognition of the symptoms of asthma by patients, families and the public and the appropriate diagnosis by health professionals; and ensure effective control of asthma by encouraging a partnership among patients, physicians and other health professionals through modern treatment and education programs. |
