- Abstract
Local asthma prevalence, especially in high-risk areas, may vary greatly from those estimated by national or regional data and targeted, community-specific approaches may be needed to assess the burden of childhood asthma. The Philadelphia Merck Childhood Asthma Network project sought to understand the local prevalence of asthma in Philadelphia communities and schools of low-income, disadvantaged children utilizing a grassroots approach that would access traditionally hard-to-reach families.
