The Impact of Socioeconomic Status on Pediatric Asthma Outcomes: An Observational Study

Abstract

This observational study examines the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and asthma outcomes in children aged 5-12 years. By analyzing data from medical records, parental surveys, and environmental assessments, the study identifies significant correlations between lower SES and poorer asthma control, increased hospitalizations, and higher
medication usage. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to address disparities in asthma management and outcomes among socioeconomically disadvantaged children.
