Hurtado, A. Magdalena
Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v17 n3 p362-74 Aug 1995
Data from the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1982-84, were used to examine lifetime prevalence (LTP) of childhood asthma among Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans. LTP was related to Puerto Rican ethnicity, birth outside U.S. mainland, low weight for age, male gender, poverty, urban residence, and single parenthood. Implications for home treatment effectiveness are discussed. (SV)
