  • Asthma In The Bronx: A Case Study

    The findings from this research have led me to be certain of the importance of how by just merely looking into a subject from the origin of it can make us understand the true cause of the problem. Often people believe in one thing because it was told to them as a child like “ you are just like your parents who also have asthma.” However, after examining the different triggers of asthma it is with more certainty that I believe the borough of the Bronx has to advocate for its community and the area in they live in.

  • Social Determinants Of Health Essay

    I am fortunate enough to have grown up with access to safe housing, which many children, particularly in urban and low-income communities, do not have the benefit of enjoying. Children living in substandard housing in these communities are more likely to be exposed to asthma triggers like mold, pests, dust, and poor ventilation and heating. In low-income neighborhoods due to the high demand for affordable housing, landlords have little incentive to address housing issues facilitating asthma triggers, therefore they often go unanswered. As a result of such unsafe housing, children are more likely to be admitted for their asthma and have higher emergency department visits and hospitalizations. Despite being diagnosed with asthma as a child, I was able to easily manage the disease without many severe flare ups greatly due to my access to safe housing.
