Asthma in urban Aboriginal children: A cross-sectional study of socio-demographic patterns and associations with pre-natal and current carer smoking.

Among urban Aboriginal children in the Study of Environment on Aboriginal Resilience and Child Health cohort, asthma prevalence declines as household income and household size increase, while children exposed to pre-natal maternal smoking are at increased risk of ever having asthma. Our results emphasise the importance of reducing smoking in Aboriginal communities, particularly among pregnant women.
