Getting started. My first one - hope this goes ok.

1. Content. The content of this site was easy to understand. You can access it as a Patient/Consumer or Professional. It has lots of good information about what is asthma and then has different sites to go for more indepth information about treatments, medications etc. It is in English and Spanish.

2. The design is well laid out and easy to follow. I had no difficulty finding my way around. It is laid out like chapters in a book with appropriate chapter titles. Clear and easy to use. I was able to easily access any of the additional pages.

3. Authorship belongs to the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology through their journal. There are pages for accessing the latest media information. They include a address and a Contact Us address.

4. Information seems to be current with frequent updates. There is information to a conference in February.

5. I think this is a very easy to use site with clear chapter headings which makes it easy for anyone to quickly find an area of interest on Pediatric Asthma. It has questions of the week for both Patients and Professionals and includes access to questions from past. They also have an option to make suggestions to the site.

6. I accessed this site through Google by putting in Pediatric Asthma. It was on the first page.

7. As noted in no. 1 it has access for either Patients/Consumers or for Professionals.

8. I did not see any user support access but it was a very easy site to use and I did not feel that I needed any assistance.
