Inner City Asthma Study

Mar 14, 2002

This six-year study released by the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma
and Immunology found that improved communications between physicians
and
families concerning their child?’s asthma, along with identifying and
removing asthma triggers such as cigarette smoke or cockroaches from
the
child's home, helped reduce emergency room visits and asthma symptoms
for
inner-city children.
