NEWS briefly EDUCATION NATIONAL SURVEY: SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF PARENTS NOT PLANNING TO SEND CHILDREN TO BRICK AND MORTAR SCHOOLS DUE TO COVID-19 CONCERNS A new national survey finds up to one in five students who were attending a brick and mortar traditional school in March of this year are unlikely to return this fall. This means approximately 10 million K-12 students will be displaced from classrooms and in need of online learning options. The poll, conducted by Public Opinion Strategies, surveyed 2,000 parents of children enrolled in brick and mortar schools in grades K-11 who are facing difficult decisions regarding the safety, continuity and effectiveness of their children’s education this fall. The survey sampled 2,000 parents of children in brick and mortar schools grades K-11 and was conducted May 11-17, 2020 by Public Opinion Strategies on behalf of the National Coalition for Public School Options. The survey has a margin of error of ±2.50%.

Back to School Illinois continues mission, inspires students Continued from page 1 BY TIA CAROL JONES
Back to School is continuing its mission to provide much needed supplies to children who live in challenging homes and added something new to inspire those students to excel, Notes of Inspiration. The 10-year-old organization provides scholarships and school supplies for students in the form of grade-appropriate kits, which include everything from note cards to binders to crayons, pens and pencils. Last year, the organization distributed 30,000 kits throughout the state of Illinois. Back to School works with schools and school districts, as well as the YMCA and community organizations to identify what schools and students in communities will benefit from receiving the school supplies it provides. Matthew Kurtzman is the CEO of Back to School Illinois. He said the Notes of Inspiration program was part of the organization’s launch of the Build-A-Kit initiative where organizations could purchase school supplies in bulk and put the kits together as a team building exercise. The initiative was created in 2015 and is a very popular program. Inside those
kits, people write notes to students to inspire them to do well in school. Kurtzman said the Notes of Inspiration program is about providing kids with tools they need to “boost their self-esteem” and “self-worth,” adding, “The kids that get our kits come from challenging homes.” He explained the note is meant to encourage them to make the most of their time in school, to make friends, to study hard, to sign up for different activities and to let them know “there is someone out there rooting for them.” Kurtzman said there has been research in the role self-esteem plays in a child’s life when it comes to how it correlates to their performance in school. He said the organization expanded the note part of the Build-A-Kit initiative to make sure every kid who received a school supply kit, also received a Note of Inspiration. “We started working with some organizations. Then, when COVID-19 came along and we realized people were stuck at home, but they want to do something, they want to give back, they want to help, they see all the first responders doing some amazing things, but they’re worried about their own safety and well-being. So, we created the Notes of Inspiration Home
Edition,” he said. People can order the 6-by-8 note cards from the Back to School Illinois website and write notes of encouragement, mail them back to the organization and it will put the notes into the kits they distribute throughout the school year. “So, it’s a simple volunteer program. People can do a few, they can do many,” he said. It’s a great way to give back and certainly, it’s a great volunteer activity because people can do it anytime, he continued. “We’re always needing notes,” he said. Kurtzman said because of social distancing due to COVID-19, the organization has not been able to send out its Build-A-Kit to companies, adding when schools closed, students left what they had and so the organization provided some kits to students. Distributions will also be made during the summer months, he said. He said they’re always looking for folks to support their efforts, whether it’s through volunteering or whether it’s through making donations. “People should be supporting educational endeavors,” Kurtzman said.

Low-income people and others who aren’t required to file tax returns can quickly register for payment with IRS Non-Filers tool With 159 million Economic Impact Payments processed, the Internal Revenue Service reminds many low-income Americans who don’t usually file tax returns to register for a payment by October 15. Millions of low-income people and others who aren’t required to file a tax return, may be eligible for an Economic Impact Payment and can easily register for a payment by using the free Non-Filers tool, available only on IRS.gov. “IRS employees worked around the clock to deliver the Economic Impact Payments and new tools to help taxpayers in record time,” said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. “Even with these unprecedented steps, there remain people eligible for these payments who need to take action. Registering to receive the payments is easy, and millions of non-filers have already taken this step. We urge everyone to share this information widely to
help more people receive these payments.” In the past two months, more than 159 million Americans have received Economic Impact Payments totaling almost $267 billion. Of the payments, 120 million were sent to Americans by direct deposit, 35 million by check and 4 million payments were made in the form of a pre-paid debit card. This includes payments sent to those who usually do not have to file a tax return, but receive retirement, survivor or disability benefits under various programs administered by the Social Security Administration as well as the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Railroad Retirement Board who qualify. These individuals can use Get My Payment to check on their payment status. Non-Filers tool on IRS. gov helps millions; special feature remains available through October 15 To help people who aren’t
www.citizennewspapergroup.com
normally required to file a tax return, the IRS created the Non-Filers tool, available in English and Spanish, in partnership with the Free File Alliance. The Non-Filers tool is designed for people with incomes typically below $24,400 for married couples, and $12,200 for singles. This includes couples and individuals who are homeless. People can qualify, even if they do not have earned income or work. Usually, married couples qualify to receive a $2,400 payment while others normally qualify to get $1,200. People with qualifying children under 17 can get up to an additional $500 for each child. Anyone who already filed either a 2018 or 2019 return does not qualify to use this tool. The Non-Filers tool will remain available through the summer and fall, though many eligible people without a filing obligation have already received an Economic Impact Payment. The IRS urges every
other eligible non-filer to register soon to quickly receive their payment. Anyone who registers by October 15 will receive their payment by the end of the year. To help reach these non-filers, over the next few months the IRS will be conducting an extensive outreach and education effort to partner with groups who serve homeless individuals, underserved communities, limited English households and others. As part of this effort, the agency has created an Economic Impact Payment partner page, and materials are available in multiple languages. The IRS cautions that some people who need to file a tax return have been mistakenly using the Non-Filers tool to try to get an Economic Impact Payment.

ASK DR. KEVIN: An Unfamiliar, Rare Disease Associated with Heart Failure in African Americans BY DR. KEVIN WILLIAMS Chief Medical Officer for Rare Disease at Pfizer
The “Ask Dr. Kevin” series is brought to you by Pfizer Rare Disease in collaboration with the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) to increase awareness and understanding of ATTR-CM, or transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy, and the risk to African Americans. As you may already know, heart disease is a leading cause of death for all Americans, but certain minority groups face a greater risk than others. In fact, according to one study, African Americans were 45 percent more likely to die as a result of heart failure-related hospitalization compared to Caucasian populations in the United States. With the disproportionate rates of heart failure, heart attacks, and other serious heart conditions in the African American community, it’s important to fully explore the underlying cause of these conditions with the help of a cardiologist. As the “Ask Dr. Kevin” series enters its fourth year, I want to turn my focus to a rare, but very serious form of heart disease known as ATTR-CM. ATTR-CM is a life-threatening, underdiagnosed disease associated with heart failure, but many people have never heard of it or don’t know what it is. In this article, I’m going to explain more about ATTR-CM, and answer some of the most commonly asked questions in hopes it will help raise awareness of
Dr. Kevin Williams, the Chief Medical Officer for Rare Disease at Pfizer
the condition and the misunderstood symptoms that often delay diagnosis. Who is Affected By ATTR-CM? There are two sub-types of ATTR-CM, wild-type and hereditary. Wild-type ATTR-CM is thought to be the most common form of ATTR-CM, is mostly associated with men over the age of 60 and is not caused by a mutation in a person’s genes. Most wild-type patients are white. Hereditary ATTR-CM is inherited from a relative and is due to genetics, affecting both men and women. In the United States, the most common genetic mutation associated with hereditary ATTR-CM is found almost exclusively in people of African or Afro-Caribbean descent. Symptom onset can occur in people as early as their 50s or 60s; however, people who have the mutation may never

What Are the Symptoms of ATTR-CM? Since many patients and even some doctors are unfamiliar with ATTR-CM, the condition is highly underdiagnosed. Many people with ATTR-CM present with symptoms
similar to those of more common causes of heart failure such as fatigue, shortness of breath and swelling in the lower legs or have symptoms that are not commonly perceived to be linked to a heart condition, like carpal tunnel syndrome (numbness, tingling, or pain in the fingers), bicep tendon rupture, gastrointestinal
issues (constipation, diarrhea and nausea) and lumbar spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the open spaces in the lower spine). All of these factors can lead to delays in diagnosis or misdiagnosis. If you’d like to learn more about hereditary ATTR-CM, including signs and symptoms, visit YourHeartsMessage.com. *Dr. Kevin Williams is the Chief Medical Officer for Rare Disease at Pfizer. He pursued medicine after being inspired by his father’s work as a general practitioner in his hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Dr. Kevin is passionate about raising awareness and increasing understanding of ATTR-CM in the African American community. You can follow Pfizer on Facebook and Twitter.
‘Churched’ explores religion, with comedy BY TIA CAROL JONES
Crystal Barnes is a filmmaker who creates faith-based content with an edge, comedy, with a more critical lens. She always wanted to make a faith-based comedy. After seeing ‘The Office,” she was inspired to use that single camera, documentary-styled model. What she came up with is “Churched,” a faith-based comedy that centers on the lives of the pastor of Walk This Way Church and on the people who attend his church. It is part of Barnes’ Ark Productions. In the first episode, Pastor Axel Stevens is working on his introduction to the church and dealing with his role as lead pastor for the first time.
Barnes said she started writing, with Melissa Ostander, using input from a friend who is a minister. She said it took about six to eight months to write the 10 episodes, which are being aired for free on Facebook and YouTube. The episodes, which were self-funded, range from three to six minutes. Barnes added that the goal is to produce a second season with longer episodes, about 22 minutes, the average length of a comedy series that would happen on television or on an episodic platform. Barnes worked at a church office for about a year and a half. She said the people aren’t based on anyone they know, they just took archetypes of people and combined people.
“I just wanted to put normal people in here that showed our flaws,” she said. “We were trying to figure out who is needed in a church office,” Ostander said. “If you’re going to have a really small start-up church, what kind of people do you have to have on board.” There is the lead pastor, a white man who is married to a Black woman. Then, there is the family pastor who has 12 kids who are named for the twelve apostles, and who wants to be an actor more than a pastor. Then, there is Gladys, an older woman who has a mysterious, murky past, and the worship team leader, who really plays more rock and jazz and blues music. www.citizennewspapergroup.com
Ostander said she and Barnes have been in church collectively for 50 years or more. She said in that time, they’ve witnessed a lot. Ostander said she hopes people enjoy the show. “First and foremost, I hope they are entertained, and they laugh. I feel like our ministry is really about preaching to people who are not Christian. People who may not have or want a relationship with God, but to show Christians are flawed people, we’re very goofy, sometimes we front and we think that we’re perfect, but the reality is, we’re not,” she said. Ostander said she hopes people will see a different viewpoint because the lead writer, Barnes, is an African-American woman.
Barnes said it is her hope that the characters in the show are relatable and that people will want to watch future episodes. She said they are looking for financial partners so they can create longer episodes and get them on more profitable platforms. Barnes said it is still a challenge for women and minorities to be directors and filmmakers. “I know how challenging it is to get something like this done, but it can get done,” she said. “It’s still a challenge day-to-day, we’re still trying to do it.” For more information on “Churched” and Ark Productions, visit https://arkproductionschicago. com/home/churched/.

T-Mobile Launches ‘ Connecting Heroes’ Free 5G for First Responder Agencies is Here
Study: The COVID-19 Pandemic Has Led to a Surge of Socially Responsible Behaviors COVID-19 has had a radically positive impact on socially responsible behaviors, according to a special release of the Conscious Consumer Spending Index (#CCSIndex). After a three-year slide, consumers have been spurred to significant increases in a range of “do good’ behaviors such as reducing consumption, donating to charity and buying products and services from socially responsible companies. This rebound of goodness comes at a time when approximately one quarter of Americans are reporting a decline in household income, their overall wellbeing or both. In total, 1,006 Americans were surveyed for the latest Index. Conducted annually, each fall since 2013, the #CCSIndex is an ongoing benchmarking study. Good.Must.Grow., a socially responsible marketing consultancy, administers the Index to gauge momentum for conscious consumerism and charitable giving. Researchers fielded this mid-year check point to gauge what impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having on social responsibility. Overall, the impact is positive. The #CCSIndex jumped 15 percent to 46 on a 100-point scale. This was the highest score since 2017, and
a dramatic reversal from a record low performance of 39 last November. The Index score is calculated by evaluating the importance consumers place on purchasing from socially responsible companies, actions taken to support such products and services, and future intent to increase the amount they spend with responsible organizations. Based on the design of the Index’s algorithm, even a one-point change in overall score indicates meaningful movement of consumer sentiment. “This pandemic has had an extensive and negative impact on our collective wellbeing, but it has also served as a catalyst for community and consciousness,” said Heath Shackleford, founder of Good. Must.Grow. “We have been forced to come together in new ways. We’ve benefited from fresh perspectives and resetting of priorities. And I think we are taking seriously our individual roles as change makers to lead with purpose and reward companies and causes who do the same.” Other key findings from the Index include: l Those who have been diagnosed with COVID-19, or have cared for an immediate family member with the virus, were far more likely to report
improved wellbeing, charitable giving, supporting socially responsible companies and backing local businesses, than those with no direct exposure. l Nearly half of Americans (47%) believe companies will be more socially responsible as a result of the pandemic. l More than three-quarters of Americans say that how a company treats employees and customers during the pandemic will be an important factor when determining whether to support them following the pandemic. Overall, matters of trust outranked a company’s purpose and social impact as priorities for consumers postpandemic. l Just under half of Americans will be working harder on their personal health (43%) and building their savings accounts (41%) as a result of the pandemic.
Interestingly, when asked which companies were NOT being socially responsible during the pandemic, the same two brands led the way. The top five were: 1. Amazon 2. Walmart 3. Tesla 4. Hobby Lobby 5. Tyson Foods
Naughty or Nice – Which Companies Are Behaving Well During the Pandemic? When asked which companies were doing a good job of being socially responsible during the pandemic, the most likely responses (unaided) were: 1. Walmart 2. Amazon 3. Target 4. Kroger 5. Costco
About the Study This study was conducted in partnership with Supportive Research Solutions. Sampling was provided by Dynata. Data was collected May 9 -16, 2020. In total, 1,006 Americans were surveyed (margin of error is +/- 3%). For more information on the Conscious Consumer Spending Index, please visit www.goodmustgrow.com/ ccsindex
“I believe there are many positives here,” said Shackleford. “The data we collect have been trending the wrong direction for several years, and it seems there is renewed momentum for consumers to more consistently support organizations that are mission-driven and committed to positive social impact. It will be important to sustain this energy as we continue to navigate the pandemic and prepare for a new normal.”

T-Mobile’s 5G network is now 8 times bigger than AT&T’s and 28 THOUSAND times bigger than Verizon’s, according to a press release. As a ‘thank you’ to everyone who’s shifted the way they work and live during this pandemic, the Un-carrier is giving Sprint and T-Mobile postpaid customers a new iPhone SE or up to half off a flagship superphone from another top brand. Customers just trade in their existing eligible device, and they’ll owe nothing but the sales tax on an iPhone SE — a powerful new smartphone in a popular design — or get up to $500 off another new superphone. “When we’re at our most vulnerable, first responders are there for us … and they are under more pressure today than ever before. Connecting Heroes is one way we’re saying ‘thank you’ in this critical time,” said Mike Sievert, CEO of T-Mobile. “People who save lives shouldn’t have to choose between lifesaving equipment and wireless service. And with Connecting Heroes, they won’t have to. We’re not limiting this program to a few months or a year … first responders can get free service including 5G access, for a full decade. THIS is the kind of impact the new T-Mobile can have in the world. THIS is the kind of difference we can make.” For more information on this offer, visit t-mobile.com or sprint.com.

Interior Design Trends on the Horizon
(StatePoint) Thinking about refreshing the look of your home? “Cozy” and “warm” are trending keywords for interior design, according to experts, with luxurious textiles, inviting color palettes, and warm mixed metals found across all design styles. While a maximalism approach is on the horizon, clean and modern design schemes continue to reign. “Use a minimalist approach, allowing patterned décor to add pops of color,” advises Eliza Alkire, trend expert and product designer for Progress Lighting. “Accent this with hanging planters and potted greenery to enhance the character of any room with an organic look.” To make the most of your space, consider this design advice from Alkire and the experts at Progress Lighting: Materials, Shapes and Finishes While neutral color schemes are tried-andtrue, now is the time to turn to an updated palette consisting of warm, earthen undertones. Choose lighting finished in mixed metals to accent the neutral scheme and add visual interest and depth.
Recent years have seen lighting combine black chrome and gold finishes. Now, warm tones of natural brass, bronze and copper mixed with silver and black will be found across lighting designs, cabinet pulls and plumbing hardware. Move over, stainless steel! Just remember to keep the look uncluttered by not mixing more than two or three metals in one space. Geometric shapes are dominating design trends. Adding lighting in triangle, diamond, hexagonal or combination of geometric shapes is one of the easiest ways to transform a space and add wow factor. Make sure to balance statement-making lighting with clean, classic patterns and colors on furnishings and accessories. Create warmth with tactile elements. Luxurious, richly-textured fabrics like velvet, suede and leather work nicely with clean, contemporary interiors as well as rustic farmhouse spaces. Try vibrantly-colored velvets furnishings, pillows and throws. Wallpaper is making a comeback: use it in small areas like powder room walls, or make a splash with a floral accent wall. Style Evolution Overall design trends are evolving. Homes that www.citizennewspapergroup.com
were previously traditional are now termed “new traditional” as they take on fun, youthful elements that keep the design fresh. Lighting fixtures have mixed metal finishes or are designed in new takes on classic silhouettes, such as large lanterns and chandeliers done in linear shapes. Mountain style goes beyond a rustic, cabin look to take on a modern form with clean lines, neutral color palettes and uncluttered interiors. With open layouts and tall ceilings, sweeping views command attention. Lighting is oversized, with airy, open designs meant to cast light without obstructing views from the plentiful windows in the space. For fans of farmhouse style, this look has taken a delightful turn, with fewer rustic details and more modern charm. Subtle hues go beyond a white and gray palette into the realm of soft greens and blush pinks. Lighting is inspired by historical design with industrial details like working pulleys, but is combined with clean lines for a relaxed, casual vibe. For more tips and inspiration, visit Progress Lighting at progressltg.com/Inspiration. To stay on-trend, think cozy, warm and inviting.

Ice Cube to Black Press of America: ‘You’re All We’ve Got’ Hip-Hop Legend Talks New Movie, Black Life in Exclusive Interview BY STACY M. BROWN NNPA Newswire Senior Correspondent @StacyBrownMedia
Thirty years ago, Ice Cube debuted his seminal “AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted” album, which many at the time said was the apex of hip hop’s existence. Today, Cube is not only one of the world’s biggest music stars, but he’s also at the top of Hollywood’s A-list. In an exclusive livestream interview with the Black Press of America, the legend said he takes nothing for granted. “I’m not going to take a day off,” stated Cube, whose real name is O’Shea Jackson. “It’s good that people enjoy the work that I do, and I’m going to keep it coming,” he stated. Following a long list of blockbusters like Boyz ‘N the Hood, Three Kings, and The Players Club, Cube’s new film, The High Note, debuted on Friday, May 29 on various streaming services. The only actor to have at least five highly-successful movie franchises (Friday, Barbershop, Are We There Yet?, Ride Along, and 21 Jump Street), Cube said he’s merely taking advantage of the opportunities he’s been blessed with.
Born in predominantly Black South-Central, Los Angeles, Cube said the Black Press remains as vital today as when he was a baby in 1969. “You [The Black Press] is all we’ve got, to be honest,” Cube stated. “You’re our last line of defense when it comes to the truth, and when it comes to things that are of interest for our people and that’s something we must keep intact, nurture, fund, and do everything we can to keep the Black Press going.” He continued: “You’ve been a lifeline to the community, letting the world know what’s going on. We’re underreported and underappreciated. [Public Enemy leader] Chuck D told us a long time ago to ‘Don’t believe the hype.’ You’ve got to listen to the people that love you. So, thank God for the Black Press.” Cube’s message also extended to millennials. “Do your thing,” Cube said when asked what his message was for young people. “Stay determined and creative. Technology today is perfect for artists to be themselves and do what they feel and not conform to anyone,” he stated, noting that hip hop artist Soulja Boy

turned himself into a superstar by creating music from his home. “You have to fall in love with the act of creating something new,” Cube continued. “If you do something you really love and are satisfied with finishing a great project, you never know what you’ll get out of it.” Cube’s new film, The High Note, stars
Tracee Ellis Ross and Dakota Johnson. “It’s a great movie about the music industry. I play the manager of superstar Grace Davis. This story is of this assistant of this superstar and her journey,” Cube stated. “Tracee Ellis Ross had a front-row seat to one of the biggest superstars in the world (her mother, Diana Ross), was going to work all the way around.”
Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr, NNPA President and CEO, saluted Ice Cube for his outstanding achievements and ongoing commitment to the empowerment of Black America. Chavis stated, “Ice Cube continues to represent the best of the genius of hip hop that transforms the world into a better place for who cry out for freedom and justice.”
NFL Announces Major Steps to Incentive Teams to Hire Minorities for Top Posts IN AN EXPANSION OF ITS ROONEY RULE, WHICH HAD PREVIOUSLY CALLED ON TEAMS TO INTERVIEW MINORITY CANDIDATES, THE LEAGUE SAID TEAMS MUST ALSO INTERVIEW AT LEAST ONE MINORITY CANDIDATE FOR COORDINATOR OPENINGS AND ONE EXTERNAL CANDIDATE FOR POSITIONS IN TEAMS’ FRONT OFFICES. “WHILE WE HAVE SEEN POSITIVE STRIDES IN OUR COACHING RANKS OVER THE YEARS AIDED BY THE ROONEY RULE, WE RECOGNIZE, AFTER THE LAST TWO SEASONS, THAT WE CAN AND MUST DO MORE,” COMMISSIONER ROGER GOODELL SAID DURING A MEDIA CONFERENCE CALL.
BY STACY M. BROWN NNPA Newswire Senior Correspondent @StacyBrownMedia
National Football League teams must now interview at least two minority candidates for head coaching positions under new resolutions that the league hopes will improve diversity among its 32 teams. In an expansion of its Rooney Rule, which had previously called on teams to interview minority candidates, the league said teams must also interview at least one minority candidate for coordinator openings and one external candidate for positions in teams’ front offices. “While we have seen positive strides in our coaching ranks over the years aided by the Rooney Rule, we recognize, after the last two seasons, that we can and must do more,” Commissioner Roger Goodell said during a media conference call. “The policy changes made today are bold and demonstrate the commitment of our ownership to increase diversity in leadership positions throughout the league.” Troy Vincent, the NFL’s executive vice president of football operations and second-incommand to Goodell, said the league is now in a better position to not only hire minorities and women, but to retain their services. “What the chairman (Art Rooney II) and the commissioner did today and what

the ownership voted on today has been a fight for decades to get mobility that has disproportionately affected people of color,” Vincent stated. “Just the ability to get an interview, you don’t get hired unless you have an interview. The mobility resolution today was significant and historic, because it has been a fight for decades. That’s the foundation. Frankly, we would call
that the linchpin of these inequalities. With these initiatives, the enhancement of the Rooney Rule, which is a tool; it just allows us to have a broader scope of how we look at things.” The new rules include a provision that begins in 2021, which states that teams will no longer restrict staff from interviewing with other clubs for “bona fide” coaching or front office positions. Goodell called the commitment to improving diversity throughout the league is “critical” for future success. “While we have seen positive strides in our coaching ranks over the years aided by the Rooney Rule, we recognize, after the last two seasons, that we can and must do more,” Goodell said. “The policy changes made today are bold and demonstrate the commitment of our ownership to increase diversity in leadership positions throughout the league.” Clubs also will be required to “include minorities and, or, female applicants in the interview processes for senior-level front

office positions such as club president and senior executives in communications, finance, human resources, legal, football operations, sales, marketing, sponsorship, information technology, and security positions,” according to the expanded rule. Also, league officials stated that they would use an advisory panel to further strategies aimed at fostering an inclusive culture of opportunity both on and off the field. Goodell also promised to improve the league’s pipeline for minority coaching and player personnel candidates with assistance from its Bill Walsh NFL Diversity Coaching Fellowship. “This fight has been going on for a long time,” said Vincent, who could one day become the league’s first African American commissioner. “The facts are we have a broken system, and we’re looking to implement things to change the direction in where we’re going, and it’s been south. Not a gradual south but a direct south.”

HEALTH How to Tell if You Have Severe Asthma (StatePoint) While the majority of the more than 25 million Americans living with asthma enjoy active, healthy lives, for others, severe symptoms are part of daily life, despite using high dose asthma medicines and avoiding triggers. Does this sound familiar? If so, you could have severe asthma, a type of asthma that affects approximately 5-10 percent of those with the condition. Increasing the risk of death, illness, and depression, and limiting the ability to work or go to school, severe asthma is dangerous, and is responsible for 50 percent of all asthma healthcare costs. Control is the key and is attainable even if you do have severe asthma. Is your asthma under control? To find out, start by visiting the American Lung
