New Research: Trends in racial disparities for asthma outcomes among children

Different types of data analysis tell different stories about asthma disparities in children. This study analyzed trends in racial disparities using both traditional population-based rates and at-risk rates. Population-based data methods found disparities in asthma prevalence among black children over time and asthma-related deaths increased. However, the at-risk analysis found the same racial disparities remained the same or decreased, suggesting that despite a growing asthma prevalence among black children compared to white children, progress has been made in addressing racial disparities in asthma outcomes.
