Children's asthma isn't just a medical issue — it's a public health issue.
Air quality. Housing conditions. School environments. Access to care.
These are the factors shaping whether a child can breathe freely — and they're not distributed equally.
Children in underserved communities face more exposure to asthma triggers and less access to the resources that help manage them.
That's not just a health gap. That's an equity gap.
Swipe through to understand what's really driving children's asthma — and what public health education can do about it.
💡 Save this and share with a colleague working in school health, environmental health, or community education.
