Trends in asthma-related paediatric mortality.

Key takeaway
Black children are more likely to die from asthma than white children, even though overall child asthma deaths haven't changed much. This means our community still faces a greater burden when it comes to managing this common condition and ensuring our children thrive.
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.
