ACCP Embraces “Asthma Blues”®
At CHEST 2009!
CTK is
proud to announce that The American College of Chest Physicians has been offering “Asthma Blues”®
for sale in their bookstore since November of 2009. “Asthma Blues”® translates the goals
of the NHLBI EPR-3 into music and delivers 5 of the 6 Priority Messages from the NHLBI 2008 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 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. One of the
very unique advantages of "Asthma Blues"®, is that young children, teens, adults, and
those with limited reading skills or low health literacy can benefit from the program.
“Asthma Blues”® empowers participants with vital information that builds the structure for
asthma management, delivers key concepts that help them to take control of asthma, and equips
them with the tools to keep asthma controlled.
Order the “Asthma Blues”® CD for $18 plus tax, shipping and handling from the
CTK website, www.ctkclinical.com, or call (773) 610-6022. The “Asthma
Blues”® CD is also available on the ACCP website, www.chestnet.org, through their online catalog.
