In 2005, an estimated 8.1% of adults in Pennsylvania reported that they currently have asthma. Seven years earlier, in 1999, an estimated 6.8% reported having asthma. Over this seven-year period, it appears that the number of adults who currently have asthma is increasing. Over the seven-year period between 1997 and 2003, the reported prevalence rate among children diagnosed with asthma in Pennsylvania also shows an increase each year. In 1997, 6.6% of children in kindergarden through grade 12 in Pennsylvania schools had been diagnosed with asthma. In 2003, that rate was 9.8%. These examples are just two of the many reasons that resources for professionals and consumers need to be in one central location. Please feel free to explore this area of the website thoroughly.
