Asthma and the home environment of low-income urban children: Preliminary findings from the seattle-king county healthy homes project

摘要

ObjectivesChildhood asthma is a growing public health concern in low-income urban communities. Indoor exposure to asthma triggers has emerged as an important cause of asthma exacerbations. We describe indoor environmental conditions related to asthma triggers among a low-income urban population in Seattle/King County, Washington, as well as caregiver knowledge and resources related to control of these triggers.
