What’s New at the Network
Biologics Toolkit
Allergy & Asthma Network updated and expanded its BiologicMeds.org website to add the latest info on these innovative medications. The site goes in-depth on biologics that treat respiratory, allergic and skin diseases. It addresses what patients need to know about financial assistance programs. Plus, we answer more FAQs!
Asthma Disparities
A recent Allergy & Asthma Network study explored how the Asthma Equity Explorer Database helps researchers identify disparities in specific locations. The study looked at the link between housing stress, redlining and asthma prevalence in the non-Hispanic Black population. Health Data Analyst Mitu Patel presented a poster on the study at ACAAI’s annual meeting in Boston.
Research Insight
Chief Research Officer De De Gardner shared her insight with Healio on a new study showing medication cost barriers impact adherence in 1 in 6 adults with asthma. De De cites the need for greater patient education on medication assistance programs and shared decision-making. Further research is needed to better understand patient barriers and perspectives.
