This is My brother holding Asthma Public Health initiative guidelines.

The California Department of Public Health instituted the California Asthma Public Health Initiative to improve the quality of clinical care according to National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) guidelines, reduce asthma morbidity and improve quality of life, and reduce/eliminate asthma health disparities for California children aged 0-18 years with asthma. Strategies included training and support of a fulltime clinic-based asthma coordinator; continuous quality improvement strategies in the clinic; and community outreach to promote and disseminate these best practices. Among the outcomes, the study found over a three year period a 76% reduction in hospitalizations due to asthma; a 78% reduction in emergency department visits due to asthma; and a 73% reduction in the number of children who used rescue medication more than twice a week.

This photo depicts public health because it is smoking intervention. Smoking is a huge problem in today's society as one of the leading causes of lung cancer. Smoking intervention is something that is extremely important to me as I just lost my uncle to lung cancer two weeks ago. Smoking is not only dangerous for the smoker but is also very dangerous for the surrounding community through secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke is a concept in which smoke is secondarily inhaled by someone near the smoke. Smoking prevention uses epidemiological measures such as risk (the likelihood of developing lung cancer) as well as prevalence (the amount of smokers with lunch cancer) to try and deter people from smoking. There are other methods used as well such as warning labels and healthier products such as gum, vape, and patches people can use to stop smoking.
