Synopsis for May 2, 2003

Self-Reported Asthma Prevalence and Control Among Adults -- United States, 2001

Control of asthma and quality of management matter as much as the number of people with asthma.

Approximately 7.2% of the adult U.S. population currently has asthma. Among the 50 states, current asthma prevalence ranged from 5.3% (Louisiana, South Dakota) to 9.5% (Massachusetts). Use of the asthma history module permits identification of states where asthma is better controlled, regardless of prevalence level. Among the eight states that used the asthma history module, some states appear to have better controlled asthma than others.
