FOCUS
As part of the program, Emanuel will continue his work of investigating the social and environmental determinants of pediatric asthmatic events and how they may impact emergency department and hospital utilization. Beyond poor air quality, the San Joaquin Valley region has high rates of poverty and low wages. Understanding the mechanisms by which these social and environmental systems generate asthma health disparities is of great importance to the residents of the San Joaquin Valley.
