		Married parent (P = .01)
Have written plan, No. (%)	215 (57.5)
Have peak flow meter,b No. (%)	89 (46.4)	Age (P < .0001)
Quality of care score, mean (SD; range)
< 6 years old (n = 193)	1.61 (1.1; 0–4)

^aBased on logistic regression for each specific medical care variable. Independent variables included Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, insurance, child age, parent education, race, parental birthplace, and marital status.

^bPeak flow meter evaluated for children ≥ 6 years old. Quality of care score for children < 6 years old excludes peak flow meter variable.
