CHICAGO ASTHMA CONSORTIUM |
| CAC's November Conference Was a Success!This program focused on various social determinants of health including race based inequities and environmental pollution that contribute to asthma challenges. Presenters who have extensive experience in the asthma and allergy fields discussed their particular areas of research and their clinical findings. Participants came away with a deeper understanding of tools and techniques that can be used to manage asthma, and how social determinants of health can impact asthma care and outcomes. |
