1. Content - Good content about quidelines for the control of asthma. Straight forward presentation of information. Gave information for parents to ask pediatricians. Talked about medications for different levels of asthma - which author described. Referred to Guidelines presented by the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program . Gave examples of medication doses at low-medium and high daily doses.

2. Design had good flow. Easy to read. Simple, not confusing. There were other web sites listed to visit as sponsors so you clearly knew you were visiting a sponsor and/or an ad. Parents are able to sign up for Dr. Iannelli's own newsletter on the web. Also lists other resource web sites at the end. I did not like the ads running on the right hand side - too distracting and nothing to do with the web site material.

3. In the title area of site lists creation date as November 2003. Getting old but you can also access authors own Blog or newsletter which is more up to date - as late as last week - although not totally dedicated to asthma.

4. The author is an MD, published author of a book "The Everything Father's First Year
Book" and articles for several national magazines, author of a number of other books on childhood diseases. he a associate professor of Pediatrics at the U of Texas Southwestern Medical School and a Fellow of the Amer. Academy of Pediatrics.

5. I was able to easily access this site from Google.

6. It is intended for parents and is written in nonthreatening lay language.

7. The author gives links to his Newsletter and his Blog.
