Racial disparities in childhood asthma outcomes result from a complex interplay of individual- and neighborhood-level factors. To examine racial disparities in asthma-related emergency department (ED) visits between African American (AA) and European American (EA) children. This is a retrospective study of patients <18 years who visited the ED at Cincinnati Children’s for asthma, 2009–2018. The outcome was number of ED visits during a year. We assessed 11 social, economic, and environmental variables. Mediation and mixed-effects analyses were used to assess relationships between race, mediators, and number of ED visits. A total of 31,114 children (46.1% AA, 53.9% EA) had 186,779 asthma-related ED visits. AA children had more visits per year than EA children (2.23 vs 2.15; p<0.001). Medicaid insurance was associated with a 7% increase in ED visits compared with commercial insurance (1.07; 95% Confidence interval [CI]=1.03–1.1). Neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation was associated with an increased rate of ED visits in AA, not EA children. Area-level PM2.5, pollen, and outdoor mold were associated with an increased rate of ED visits for both AA and EA children (all p<0.001). Associations between race and number of ED visits were mediated by insurance (standardized coefficient [sβ]=0.048; p<0.001) and area-level deprivation (sβ=0.084; p<0.001), PM2.5 (sβ=0.002; p<0.001), and outdoor mold (sβ=0.006; p<0.001), altogether accounting for 55% of race’s effect on ED visits. Race was not associated with number of ED visits (sβ=0.006; p=0.796) after accounting for mediators. Racial disparities in asthma-related ED visits are mediated by social, economic, and environmental factors which may be amenable to interventions aimed at improving outcomes and eliminating inequities. We determine the effect of a range of individual- and neighborhood-level factors on racial disparities for asthma-related ED visits using mediation and mixed-effects analyses.
