Key messages and support materials

The game is a subtle method of focusing the youngsters on their health in a fun, rewarding way. But the importance of communicating the asthma message remains. It is therefore still important to have written material. The key messages are largely similar to those in the adult asthma handbook. However we will rewrite that handbook in a style suited to younger readers. Again, the game provides the incentive to read -even study - this material due to the random question in the log-in stage, which tests the youngster's knowledge of asthma before allowing access to the game.
