Women not having an AAP were less likely to take asthma medication as prescribed [ x 2 (1) = 13.68, P , .001], to initiate a discussion about asthma with their physicians [ x 2 (1) = 26.35, P < .001], and to own a peak fl ow meter [ x 2 (1) =77.84, P < .001]. Adjusting for asthma control, income, and medical specialty,women who did ...Continue Reading
