Black and Hispanic kids disproportionately suffer from asthma. Both are twice as likely as white children to be hospitalized for asthma. Black children are four times and Hispanics 40% more likely to die from the disease. Studies have shown that poorer Black children are more likely than white children to be admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit for “critical and near-fatal” childhood asthma. As climate change creates record-breaking temperatures that plague the nation, experts warn of disparate, worsening asthma and breathing conditions among children of color. #health #asthma
