Managing asthma in low-income, underrepresented minority, and other disadvantaged pediatric populations: closing the gap.
The authors review current understanding of the epidemiology and etiology of disparities in asthma. They also highlight current and emerging literature on solutions to tackle disparities while underscoring gaps and pressing future directions. Tailored, multicomponent approaches including the home, school, and clinician-based interventions show great promise. Managing asthma in disadvantaged populations can be challenging as they tend to have disproportionately worse outcomes due to a multitude of factors.
