P209 sleep health care disparities in pediatric children with asthma: does atopic dermatitis increase risk?

Children with asthma are at risk for poorer sleep outcomes. Urban minority children are disproportionately burdened by poor sleep due to sociocontextual stressors and challenges with asthma regimens. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is highly co-morbid in children with asthma and can further increase risk for poor sleep. Our study goal was to examine the sleep outcomes in urban children with asthma and determine whether AD increased risk for poorer sleep utilizing a group of urban healthy children as controls.
