    This week’s journal entry serves the purpose of analyzing the Mylan healthcare’s website on anaphylaxis, and compare it with best practices for usability, accessibility, credibility, and consistency, as I would if I were a member of a communications department at Mylan healthcare. The web is an important medium of communication as it combines all types of other communication which came before it (Lester, 2012). As other forms of media, the web can also be a valuable resource for information and change, but the effectiveness and success of a website may hinder upon the audience’s perspective of the website. First and foremost a website has to grasp the audience’s attention, and provide content which is interesting, applicable, and befitting for the targeted audience.

    With the increasing rise in food allergies that can be potentially life threatening, it is becoming extremely important that schools be prepared to handle such emergency situations. Among school age children, 1 in 25 students has a food allergy and 30-50% of those allergies will induce an anaphylaxis emergency (Zacharski, DeSisto, Pontius, Sheets, & Richesin, 2012).
