Asthma & African Americans
Maybe the doctor recently told you that your child has asthma. What does this
mean? For African Americans, it can mean a lot.
More than 3 million African Americans currently have asthma.1
Asthma is 26% more common among African-American children than among Caucasian
children and accounts for more than three times as many
deaths.2,3
African Americans have nearly five times the asthma-related emergency room
visits as Caucasians.3
That’s why breathing problems like asthma need to be taken seriously. However,
with a doctor’s care and by sticking to the recommended asthma treatment, your
child doesn’t have to slow down. Everydaykidz.com was developed to help you and
your child control and prevent his or her asthma symptoms.
