Abstract

This chapter examines the contextual factors related to the occurrence and risk of asthma, health behaviors, access to health care, and the design of effective interventions to reduce the burden of asthma. The latter is exemplified through the discussion of a specific community-based approach to asthma management: the Neighborhood Asthma Coalition.
