1 As Mesothelioma Awareness Day and month comes to a close, ADAO is looking forward to sharing information on asbestos disease and prevention for October’s Health Literacy Month. The theme for Health Literacy Month 2016 is “Be a Health Literacy Hero.”

Join the Twitter chat conversation on Tuesday, September 27  at 8:00 am PT with Dr. R.V. Rikard and remember to use #hlmonth2016 on your tweets.

During the entire month of October, the ADAO four-part blog series will present easy information to understand and share.  Asbestos remains legal and lethal in the USA. Each year, up to 15,000 Americans die from preventable asbestos-caused diseases. ADAO remains dedicated to raising health literacy to prevent exposure and improve treatment options.

Asbestos Disease Awareness and Prevention Four-Part Series includes:

Part One: Prevent Asbestos Exposure 
Part Two: Recognize High Risk Occupations
Part Three: Understand the Warning Symptoms for Asbestos-Caused Diseases 
Part Four: Finding a Center of Excellence for Treatment-  Published on October 24th

As we say at ADAO, “Hear Asbestos. Think Prevention.”
