Asthma Care Quality, Language, and Ethnicity in a Multi-State Network of Low-Income Children
Conclusions:
In a multi-state network of clinics, Latino children were less likely to have their asthma entered on their problem list the first day it was noted than non-Hispanic white children, but otherwise did not receive inferior care to non-Hispanic white children in other measures. Further research can examine other parts of the asthma care continuum to better understand asthma disparities.
