Toolkit for Assessing Asthma Educational Materials

Tools were developed by the Allies Against Asthma Latino workgroup to assess asthma educational materials written in Spanish.  All tools were based on established health education and asthma guidelines, which are referenced in the toolkit.  They have been adapted for general use and compiled in this document so that others may be able to use them. 

These tools can be used to evaluate existing health educational materials or as a reference for developing new materials.  Several of the tools may be applied to materials addressing other health topics and/or written in other languages.  When using these tools, you should determine your own standards regarding what will be considered acceptable.  The tools will allow you to judge various aspects of the materials against these standards and/or determine how materials compare to each other.
