Disparities in asthma control and treatment: A spotlight on Mexican American children.
May 13, 2026 · The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology
Key takeaway
This study found that Black and Mexican American children are less likely to have their asthma controlled and use important asthma medicines compared to white children. This means our children are suffering more from asthma, and it's not simply because of money or where they get healthcare.
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.
