OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – Lieutenant Governor Jari Askins is urging coaches and teachers to take part in a free online program on dealing with children who have asthma.

Askins notes that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says asthma is the third leading cause of hospitalization among children under 15 years old.

She said the “Winning with Asthma” program was created so coaches could learn about asthma, how it affects an athlete’s ability to compete, and how they could help athletes manage their symptoms.
