Data were from a larger investigation (n¼805) that evaluated
mechanisms contributing to pediatric asthma
disparities between Latino and NLW groups in RI
and PR (Canino et al., 2009). Previous reports from the
larger study have examined asthma severity,
medication use, adherence, immigration, and acculturation
(Canino et al., 2009). The current study is unique in examining
the role of alternate caregivers in disease management.
Data from only one child per family were included in
this investigation, which resulted in a sample of 665 families
(Table I).
