About Influence Of Acculturation On Asthma Outcomes In

Asthma morbidity and mortality are on the rise. The increase of asthma in the pediatric setting is startling. Asthma is noted to have a higher prevalence in minority and low- income individuals compared with their more advantaged peers. With this increase in asthma morbidity and mortality in Hispanic children the health care profession is left with the task of identifying exacerbating factors. Research studies have lacked in identifying social factors which may contribute to this startling trend. This study identified numerous barriers, both intrinsic and extrinsic to the health care system which are found to contribute to this rise in asthma rates in Hispanic children. By identifying the extent of individual barrier influences, facilitators can be identified to improve overall asthma outcomes in this high risk population. This is a must read for the health care professional.
