Abstract

Morbidity and mortality continue to increase for children with asthma. Minority children have disproportionately higher rates of adverse outcomes on almost all disease measures. An asthma management program for urban minority children was developed with research-based intervention strategies and insights gained from the child and family perspectives on illness and health care delivery. The goal of the intervention program was to deliver care that was culturally sensitive, focused on decreasing barriers to appropriate self-management, and committed to promoting partnerships among children, families, the health care system, and the broader community.
