Over the past 20 years, asthma has steadily increased in prevalence; this is attributable in part to social risk factors inherent in inner-city living and poverty. Environmental allergens have long since thought to be a major culprit in asthma severity, but there is little information on how environmental allergens such as mold directly impact the child with asthma. Delineating the direct effects of mold on asthma control and quality of life measures could potentially drive in-home interventions. We sought to determine if self-reported mold in the home environment was associated with asthma severity phenotypes.
