Learning objectives:
At the end of this presentation, participants should be able to:
Provide an overview of definitions and distinctions in terminology necessary to address health disparities, as well as documented disparities in pediatric asthma and multi-level contributors to variations in asthma outcomes in children
Discuss data that inform a theoretical framework for understanding pediatric asthma disparities as a model that can be applied to understanding the etiology of disparities in mental health and other chronic health conditions
Present an understanding of the range of studies administered by the Childhood Asthma Research Program to identify contributors to pediatric asthma disparities and ultimately improve asthma outcomes and relevant co-morbidities (e.g., poor sleep, obesity, psychiatric symptoms) in this high-risk group
