Trends in US Pediatric Asthma Hospitalizations, by Race and Ethnicity, 2012–2020
Non-Hispanic Black children remain disproportionately burdened by asthma-related hospitalizations. Although the prevalence of asthma hospitalization is decreasing among all racial and ethnic groups, the rates of decline are similar across groups. Therefore, previously identified disparities persist. Interventions that consider the specific needs of members of disproportionately affected groups may reduce these disparities.
