I chose this last one by Googling Pediatric Respiratory Diseases instead of Pediatric Asthma just to see what else might come up that was similar. Rush U. is in Chicago which is tells at the bottom of the page.

1. Content: This is very broad about Pediatric Respiratory Disorders in general . What I liked is that parent can pick other disorders of the respiratory tract that may lead to exacerbations in asthmatic children and they can find other disorders that physicians may mention to them but not really explain well. There is also a place where they can find the anataomy of the respiratory system which is good. The left column is generally about services offered by Rush and on the right is a Topic Index. Most of the other information on the page is about Rush Medical Center and how to use or find a MD there.

2. The Design is simple and easy to use. There are no distractors. The background is plain. And, if anyone is interested in going to Chicago there is a Work at Rush link on the left. (Too cold for me.)

3. There is no particular author noted on the opening page. It seems to be a generalist page written to give the basic information about Rush Medical Center offerings. In viewing the chapter headings for various Respiratory Diseases some inlcuded a Online Resource and others did not.

4. The intended audience is the consumer. There is a link for physicians in the header but it took me to a listing of different departments at Rush Medical Ctr. There is a contact us link but no user support that I saw.
