Description

Asthma mortality has been consistently on the rise since 1980. In the United States the highest increases in incidents of asthma have been in lower income portions of the inner cities. The highest mortality rate in the United States due to asthma related ailments occurs in young adult males; of which minorities, African Americans and Hispanics have had the highest mortality rates. Our primary concern falls upon the Spanish population; this is the minority with the most rapidly increasing population rate. In certain parts of the country, such as the city of Los Angeles, CA, Hispanic students already constitute the majority of some elementary schools.
The HAAMA goal is the organization of qualified physicians, scientists and community activists who meet to promote the study, research, education, and care of Allergic and Immunologic diseases related to the Hispanic population.
