“…The School Inner-City Asthma Study (SICAS) is a National Institute of Health (NIH) and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) funded, comprehensive, prospective study of inner-city school and classroom-specific exposures and asthma morbidity among students in the Northeastern U.S., adjusting for home exposures (16). Gaffin et al demonstrated in the SICAS cohort an association between Hispanic race and negative perceptions of asthma medications and further showed that this perception is connected to more asthma symptom days (17). They also revealed that caregivers of Hispanic children were 5 times more likely to be concerned that their child takes too much medication; these medication concerns were strongly and consistently associated with poor asthma control.…”

Asthma is the most common chronic disease of childhood and the leading cause of childhood morbidity as measured by school absences, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations. Multiple factors play a role in the development, treatment and prevention of childhood asthma including racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities, both the home and school environments, and medication use. The goals of this review are to summarize these aspects of asthma in school-aged children and to present an updated review of medications as it relates to treatment strategies that will help in the care of these children. We conclude that phenotypic heterogeneity and appropriate environmental assessments and interventions are important considerations in the management of childhood asthma.

“…Given the impact of SDOH on asthma, such as access to adequate nutrition, shelter, medications, electricity, subspecialty care, safety, and transportation, [6][7][8][9][10][11] it is critical that asthma providers screen for such social risks and work to address unmet social needs. Recognizing and addressing these SDOH in asthma care has the potential to improve health outcomes.…”
