For urban children with asthma, where they live is strongest predictor of exacerbations, finds research

  • A new study led by a Dell Medical School researcher found that children who moved into neighborhoods with lower levels of poverty and better access to public resources saw their asthma symptoms improve significantly.
  • Black and Hispanic children are more likely to have severe asthma episodes, die from asthma, and have asthma-related emergency room visits than white children due to where they live, according to the study.
  • The study underscores the need for more research into the role of housing in asthma disparities and suggests that moving children to areas with lower poverty rates could reduce asthma-related emergency department visits.
