The National Assessment of Health Literacy documented that 36 percent of the US population demonstrate low health literacy, limiting their ability to read and understand written and printed health-related information. CTK's Asthma and COPD camps use the Science of Music And Learning to close gaps in chronic disease knowledge and improve self-management skills. Strengthen and reinforce your communication with your health care provider by learning to speak the languages of asthma and COPD. Our unique musical process helps to increase health literacy by storing evidence-based information in memory. The method that we use is an innovative and fun way to learn!

Our unique 90 minute camp features Al Keith, BA, CRT, AE-C, facilitating CTK's evidence-based curriculum built on the music of "Asthma Blues". "Asthma Blues" empowers and equips patients, families and caregivers with evidence-based guidelines, goals and recommendations outlined in Section 3, Component 2 of the EPR-3: Education for a Partnership In Asthma Care.

The study results showed a 58% increase in asthma knowledge and self-management skills. "Asthma Blues" empowers people with asthma and their caregivers with evidence-based information, delivers key concepts that help them to manage asthma effectively, and equips them with the tools to control asthma. “Asthma Blues”® is “Music with A Message That Matters!”®.  Registration for camp is free and includes the Asthma Blues I music download and the Asthma Blues Study Guide.
