Abstract

Pediatric asthma afflicts nearly 9 million children in the United States and is considered one of the most chronic conditions of childhood. According to The Children's Health Fund (2006), children with asthma have 65% more acute care visits, three times as many prescriptions, and double the number of inpatient hospital days than the general pediatric population. In addition, the health care costs for children diagnosed with asthma are 88% higher than for children who do not have asthma.
