The Asthma Experience Journal is a collection of stories, pictures, and personal experiences from families about what it has been like to contend with pediatric Asthma. It represents the "collective wisdom" of these families as well as their health care providers. A group of parents and health care providers has reviewed all of these contributions for appropriateness.

The Asthma Experience Journal was created by Children's Hospital Boston. We welcome family members to enter and explore the Asthma Experience Journal. The Journal has the following chapters:
