Asthma is the most common chronic disease among children, with many potential risk factors including smoking,
obesity, family history, and environmental triggers, or adverse childhood childhood experiences. In Washington state nearly 120,000 children have been diagnosed with asthma, accounting for between 8 to 11 percent of children in middle and high school. As asthma cannot be cured but can be effectively managed, there is a need for strong treatment and mitigation plans to prevent burden of disease among youth in Washington.
