The Experience Journal was created under the direction of Drs. David Ray DeMaso and Joseph Gonzalez-Heydrich.  Both are child and adolescent psychiatrists in the Department of Psychiatry at Children's Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School.  Dr. DeMaso, Project Director, and Carrie Morris, Project Coordinator, have created the Asthma Experience Journal for families facing child and adolescent asthma.  The Asthma Experience Journal is made possible by contributions from an anonymous donor and from the Department of Psychiatry at Children's Hospital Boston.

The video clips of the family interview were produced and edited by Dixon Yun of Children's Hospital Boston Media Communications. The video clips of the “Postcards from YOU” pilot project were produced and edited by staff members at WGBH.  The web site was designed by Meghan Toczko.
