Disparities in Asthma Control and Treatment: A Spotlight on Mexican American Children

Disparities in asthma morbidity between Black and non-Hispanic White children are well-documented, but less is known about differences between Mexican American and non-Hispanic White children. We sought to examine differences in asthma control and treatment between Mexican American and non-Hispanic White children with persistent asthma in Central Texas and contextualize these differences relative to those observed between Black and non-Hispanic White children. Data were drawn from the Texas Home Assessment of Asthma and Lung Exposures study.
