Dear John,
A study published in the April issue of Health Affairs found that
unequal housing conditions and code enforcement contribute to asthma
disparities in Boston, Massachusetts.
Unequal Housing And Asthma
In their recent Health Affairs study, Evan Lemire and coauthors analyze
tenants' reports of asthma triggers
in Boston, Massachusetts.
They conclude that for each 10 percent increase in a neighborhood's
proportion of White residents, the incidence of reported asthma triggers
decreases by 3.14 reports per thousand residents.
For each 10 percent increase in neighborhood median household income,
the incidence of reported asthma triggers decreases by 3.02 reports per
thousand residents.
"There is substantial reason to expect that policies to ensure the
provision of safe housing will also lead to better respiratory
outcomes," the authors write.
Evan Lemire recently joined Health Affairs for a conversation about this
research during a virtual event.
Don't miss out on your chance to join the next event. Make sure to sign
up for the Health Affairs events emails to stay informed.

Elsewhere At Health Affairs
In Health Affairs Forefront, Eleanor Fleming and coauthors argue that
multilevel interventions to address social determinants of health
must include oral health. The authors indicate that in order to reduce
oral health inequities, systemic racism must be addressed.
