It is known that poor asthma control is common in pregnancy, and asthma in general disproportionally affects underserved communities. However, there is a paucity of data examining strategies to improve asthma control specifically among pregnant women from vulnerable populations. Identified barriers to optimal asthma care in other underserved groups include health literacy, financial constraints, cultural differences, and poor environmental controls. These deficiencies may also be targets for multimodal interventions geared toward improving asthma outcomes for underserved women during pregnancy.
