This article is about how more minority children are at more risk than white children dying from asthma. “If you look at inner-city children, they’re sensitized to more allergens and exposed to more allergens at higher levels in their homes, allergens that it’s difficult for them to avoid,” said Dr. Andrew Liu of the National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver. Due to poor condition in their homes and schools they are more likely to have more attacks. And another factor why their asthma attacks are more critical is because the lack of outpatient medical treatment. this article persuades the reader because this article speaks to me personally. This is a problem that needs to be fixed but information is not being known. The solution is kind of simple because all you have to do is provide them with inhalers and good medical treatment if the family could not afford it.
