| description | South Africa has the highest prevalence of child- hood asthma in sub-Saharan Africa and the fourth highest asthma mortality rate among young people worldwide.

This study sought to identify broader socioeconomic risk factors for childhood asthma prevalence, severity, and treatment access in South Africa and possible mediating pathways. |
