Viewers can earn credit by completing the post test questions.

Asthma Disparities persist most notably among minorities, children and the poor. Many providers are unaware of these disparities and thereby ill prepared to recognize and address these disparities. Additionally, responses to asthma therapy may vary among certain high risk groups. Such differential response must be noted and inform effective  management strategies.

This program is a collaboration between the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology and the Allergy and Asthma Network.
