Completed
Conditions studied: Asthma, Allergy
In brief
Minority children who grow up in poor urban neighborhoods have the highest rates of asthma, and also experience greater morbidity from acute exacerbations of this disease. The aim of this study is to further identify environmental factors unique to the inner city that affect immune development and the expression of wheezing, atopy and asthma for purposes of identifying new strategies for asthma prevention.
