Eliminating health disparities in asthma: are we at the end of the beginning?

Health equity, defined as "the attainment of the highest level of health for all people",1 continues to be a fundamental but difficult-to-achieve goal in the United States (U.S.), where some racial and ethnic minority groups are disproportionately affected by respiratory diseases such as asthma. Indeed, the prevalence of asthma is higher in Puerto Ricans (14.3%) and African Americans (11.6%) than in non-Hispanic whites (8.3%) or Mexican-Americans (5.7%).2 Moreover, Puerto Ricans and African Americans have higher morbidity and mortality from asthma than non-Hispanic whites2,3.
