Prevalence and control of asthma among US youths aged 12 to 19 years (2001-2023): A cross-sectional study.
June 26, 2026 · Medicine
Key takeaway
This study found that our Black teens continue to have higher asthma rates and poorer asthma control than others. This means we must address the unfair living conditions that make managing asthma harder for our youth.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in respiratory helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
