Synopsis

This study will examine what factors are associated with childhood asthma. In the past decades the incidence of childhood asthma has been increasing, for reasons that are not fully understood. However, evidence suggests that the increasing incidence of asthma is a result of the interplay between changing environmental factors and genetics.
