1. Content: this website started out good by identifying asthma talking about the causes, symptoms, treatments, where to get support, prognosis, complications, contacting a professional and prevention. There are several videos linked to site but I was unable to keep any of them going for more than 30 secs - very frustrating. The right column lists some peidatric asthma images and related Blogs that looked interesting. There were some other related sites also listed. I did not view all. There seemed to be a lot of commercial links.

2. The general design flowed down the page but getting out of the videos proved more difficult than it looked once you jumped from one video to the next.

3. There are no identified authors. There is a discliamer at the very bottom stating the content was supplied by A.D.A.M. - but I am not sure who that is. There is a review date of 1/30/2006 on the bottom and a review physician named who is/was President of the Allergy and Asthma Care in Taunton, MA. The persons listed in the videos did have a brief bio underneath. By clicking resources at the top it almost looks like anyone could add to this site.

4. The intended audience is for the general public. I was able to easly access this site from Google.
