| Description: |
Urban poor in the United States have substantially higher morbidity and mortality from asthma. Many asthmatics view their illness as an episodic problem and do not feel compelled to enroll in self-assessment, self-management educational programs provided in the asthma outpatient clinic. This cohort study assessed predictors of adherence to an asthma clinic appointment for patients admitted to the hospital or emergency department because of a severe asthma episode. |
