“Asthma Blues”®
The educational bridge
to improved asthma care!
"Asthma
Blues"® is CTK's innovative and easy-to-use asthma education program that uses our 7-song educational
music CD to effectively deliver key clinical concepts and empowerment messages to improve asthma management. “Asthma
Blues”® translates the goals of the NHLBI's EPR-3 into music and delivers 5 of the 6 Priority
Messages from the NHLBI Guidelines Implementation Panel (GIP) Report. Asthma control, identification of asthma triggers, proper
delivery of relief and controller medication, use of a peak flow meter, and the importance of a written asthma action plan
to guide self-management are some of the messages delivered in songs of popular musical genres such as Blues, Country &
Western, Hip-Hop, Reggae, R&B, and Rock & Roll. Utilizing the science of music and learning, the "Asthma Blues"® CD has been designed to educate individuals with asthma and their families or caregivers. One of the
unique advantages of "Asthma Blues"® is that young children, teens and adults that have
limited reading skills or low literacy levels can benefit from the asthma management information delivered in a musical format.
