The majority of asthma's unsuspecting victims come from racial minorities. This program details how this chronic disease adversely affects African American and Latino populations in the U.S. Using case studies of four young people, plus personal accounts from actor Louis Gossett, rapper Coolio, and Olympic athlete Jackie Joyner-Kersee, viewers learn what asthma is, see what triggers it, and review a game plan for leading a healthy life. Five physicians are interviewed, including Jean Harley-Lopez, M.D., director of the USC Pediatric Asthma Disease Management Program. |
