"A Preliminary Investigation of Asthma Mortality in Schools" was recently published in the October 2005 issue of the Journal of School Health. Key findings of the report include: 1) most of the deaths occurred in teens/high school students, 2) frequently, the precipitating event was related in time to exercise, and 3) a delayed response or hesitancy on the part of school staff to provide medical assistance may have contributed to some of the deaths.
