In California, 2.8 million children and adults suffer from active asthma. One out of six of these Californians lives below the poverty level. Using data from the 2003 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), this policy brief examines the burden of asthma among low-income asthma sufferers as well as some opportunities to reduce the burden for these asthma sufferers. This policy brief was funded by a grant from The California Endowment.
