Note. CI = confidence interval; OR = odds ratio; PHD = public housing development; RA = rental assistance SHS = secondhand tobacco smoke. ORs for lifetime and current asthma were estimated in logistic regression models with homeowner as the reference category. Minimally adjusted models controlled for survey year, age, sex, and race/ethnicity, and fully adjusted models controlled for these variables along with highest educational attainment and household income. Separate models included adjustment for smoking status, obesity status, and SHS exposure at home.
