A geographical study of childhood asthma in Cessnock, New South Wales

Auteur :
VEITCH, P.C.

Description :
A preliminary investigation of the spatial distribution of child asthmatics is undertaken in order to identify possible relationships between asthma and location of residence. The residential distribution of children admitted to hospital with asthma is compared with that of asthmatic children identified by a parental questionnaire survey conducted through public primary schools. Certain socioeconomic and housing variables may exacerbate, but not cause, asthma.
