The Burden of Asthma in California: A Surveillance Report (June 2007) is a comprehensive data source book containing all available asthma data for the state, including: asthma prevalence; symptoms and management; risk factors associated with asthma; work-related asthma; hospital and emergency department uses for asthma; and mortality. In addition, it highlights disparities in asthma as well as how the state is doing in comparison to the Healthy People 2010 goals.
