Adjusted for sex, gender, race, categorical age (except in measures with narrow age ranges), insurance type, consistency of insurance over a 12 month period, income level, maternal education level, primary language, family structure, household employment, geographic region and children with special health care needs (CSHCN).

Adjusted for asthma severity, categorical age (6–11, 12–17), gender, race, insurance type, consistency of insurance over a 12 month period, income level, maternal education level, primary language, family structure, household employment, geographic region and children with special health care needs (CSHCN).

Difference in risk difference between this group and reference (white children) is statistically significant (p<0.05)
