A Community Health Approach to Asthma in the Schools
Weiss-Randall, Debra
Kappa Delta Pi Record, v50 n4 p164-169 2014
Asthma is a leading cause of school absenteeism in the United States, especially in poor and minority communities, where prevalence and hospitalization rates are significantly higher than average. A community health approach can help poorer school districts hire full-time nurses and access other health resources.
