About us
Lung diseases, such as asthma and COPD, affect tens of millions of people. As the nation’s leader in preventing and treating lung diseases, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is advancing research in many ways. Through studies, clinical trials, and education, NHLBI has made, and continues to make, significant progress in improving the diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases. To further support public health efforts, NHLBI created Learn More Breathe Better®, a national health education program that aims to bring greater visibility to lung health by translating research for public and professional education programs. To drive outreach at the community level, the Learn More Breathe Better® program coordinates the Breathe Better Network, a partnership of organizations around the country working to raise awareness of lung health in their communities.

Through larger efforts within NIH and the federal government, researchers are studying ways to prevent and help people with opioid use disorder. A new study, which was designed to understand the impacts of opioid use for treating acute respiratory failure, found that adults who received opioids to support recovery in critical care were more likely to fill prescriptions for opioids a year later. The authors note more research is needed to understand the immediate and long-term impact of using different treatment methods to help adults with severe illness. Learn more about the study and research designed to assess and study how to limit the use of opioids in critical care: https://bit.ly/4cozWaY
