哮喘是儿童的一种主要慢性健康问题，在美洲原住民中很少得到调查。为了回应社区和卫生保健提供者对哮喘发病率的关注，我们对新墨西哥州耶梅斯的耶梅斯普韦布洛儿童进行了一项哮喘调查。我们与杰梅兹·普韦布洛合作，开发了一份标准化问卷，并将其发放给318名3至13岁儿童的父母。据父母报告，12.3%的人被医生或其他保健医生诊断为患有哮喘或反应性气道疾病。据报道，55%的受试者在访谈时哮喘仍处于活跃状态。研究表明，哮喘在杰梅斯普韦布洛儿童中并不罕见，事实上，比最近的全国性调查更常见。
Asthma, a major chronic health problem of children, has received little investigation in Native Americans. We conducted a survey of asthma in children of Jemez Pueblo, Jemez, New Mexico, in response to concerns of the community and health care providers about the frequency of asthma. In collaboration with Jemez Pueblo, we developed a standardized questionnaire and administered it to parents of 318 children aged 3 to 13 years. Parents reported that 12.3% had been diagnosed as having asthma or reactive airway disease by a physician or other health care practitioner. Asthma was reported as still active at the time of the interview for 55% of those subjects. The study showed that asthma was not uncommon among the Jemez Pueblo children and, in fact, was more common than in recent nationwide surveys.
