Do you cough? (2010)

Description

This resource package includes a poster and audio messages in English, Tiwi, Djambarr and murrinh-patha on how wet and dry coughs sound different. The resources stress the importance of visiting a clinic if a person has a wet cough as it could be a sign of a lung infection.

These resources were developed as educational tools for families and health professionals. They were developed in consultation with the Menzies School of Health Research, The Australian Lung Foundation, Asthma Foundation Northern Territory, Australian Respiratory Council and the Menzies School of Health Research Indigenous Reference Group.
