As a part of our mission<\/a>, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) and our Kids with Food Allergies (KFA)<\/a> division create a variety of content to support, educate, and advocate for people with asthma and allergic conditions and their caregivers. Because content is one of the primary ways we support our audiences, we are committed to creating quality and trustworthy content.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Body Content” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#505050″ link_font=”||||on|||#008c99|” link_text_color=”#008c99″ header_2_font=”|600|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#008c99″ header_2_font_size=”39px” header_3_font=”|600|||||||” header_3_text_align=”left” header_3_text_color=”#008c99″ header_3_font_size=”28px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n We write content for a variety of audiences, but our primary audiences are people with asthma and allergic conditions and their caregivers.<\/p>\n To support our primary audiences, we often create content for groups who work with people with asthma and allergies. These audiences include:<\/p>\n We value accurate and helpful educational content that empowers people to successfully manage their conditions. We create content that is evidence-based \u00a0and follows current clinical guidelines.<\/p>\n Our staff produces content on a variety of topics related to asthma and allergies. These areas include clinical education, lifestyle and condition management, policy and advocacy, and research. We aim for content that has a 4th<\/sup>– to 8th<\/sup>– grade reading level and is written using principles of health literacy. We aim to update our medical and educational content every 2 years as possible.<\/p>\n We work very hard to make sure our content is grammatically, stylistically, and clinically correct. We follow our in-house style guide with influence from the National Institutes of Health Style Guide and the Associated Press Stylebook. But we are human, and humans can make mistakes. If you notice errors on our websites or in our content, please contact us<\/a>. \u00a0We will do our best to fix it in a timely manner.<\/p>\n Many of our staff members write our content based on their areas of expertise. It is then reviewed by our content manager and\/or a member of senior leadership. If it involves health information, it is reviewed by a member of our Medical Scientific Council<\/a> \u2013 a group of experts in allergy and immunology who advise us on our content.<\/p>\n We also translate many of our educational pieces into Spanish using a medical translation company, which is reviewed by a fluent Spanish-speaking member of our Medical Scientific Council.<\/p>\n Our Editorial Team:<\/p>\n We do not accept submissions from guest writers at this time.<\/p>\n We put the needs and best interests of our audiences first. This, along with our mission and values, drives our content.<\/p>\n We maintain full editorial control over all of our content, even sponsored content. We receive donations from private and corporate donors to cover content on certain topics, but we still control what we write about.
