Choking Game Prevention: Partnership with Illinois Chapter of American Academy of Pediatrics
October 28, 2014 by Illinois PTA Advocacy Team
Today we can celebrate progress on our 2013 Resolution on Prevention of Asphyxiation Games (the Choking Game). Today we are another step closer to eliminating participation in this dangerous activity.

The joint efforts of the Illinois Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Illinois PTA have brought two important publications in this campaign:  
- a new article on the dangers of the ‘Choking “Game”‘ has been published in the Illinois Pediatrician, “The Choking Game: Updates and Recommendations to Clinical Practitioners” by Kshama Shah, MD, MPH; Molly Diaz, MD, MPH; Lisa Garbaty; Joseph Hageman, MD; and 
- an information sheet on the issue, The Choking Game: What Parents and Caregivers Need to Know, available in both English and Spanish.

Read the full article by Lisa Garbaty on the Illinois PTA blog, One Voice Illinois.
