A Story of Health: Asthma, Brett’s Story
Course: SS4678
Origination Date: May 12, 2023
Expiration Date: May 12, 2025
Program Description
A Story of Health: Asthma is one module in The Story of Health which conveys complex concepts about multiple influences on health through a family reunion scenario, allowing stories to emerge about family members with a range of diseases, which we will explore from a case study perspective. This storyline allows for geographic distribution including family members from rural, suburban, and city locales, as well as for ethnic diversity via marriage, adoption, etc. Each story reveals the constellation of genetics and environmental circumstances that might affect the particular disease (in this case asthma), and brings in the latest available science. An introduction describes the ecological approach to health and its many variables. The stories are enhanced by a variety of media including sidebars, pop-up boxes, illustrations, graphics, videos and links to additional resources and key journal references.
Objectives
At the conclusion of the session, the participant should be able to:
- Discuss clinical symptoms associated with asthma.
- Describe the latest science on environmental, gene-environment risk factors for asthma.
- Describe how to counsel patients to avoid risk factors that may contribute to asthma.
- Describe how to improve collaborative practice across the healthcare team regarding the prevention of asthma.
