Social determinants of mental health in asthma: an exploratory study
As in the general population, age, sex and employment/student status were associated with components of mental health in people with asthma. Although limited by the small sample size and sociodemographic homogeneity, the findings of this exploratory study contribute to the large body of work fostering a holistic approach to health and striving for health equity in people with asthma, particularly those who experience mental health problems.
