Asthma: Wisconsin Asthma Statistics
Asthma ranks as an important public health issue in Wisconsin, and is routinely identified as a high priority in state and federal public health plans. Statewide asthma surveillance data demonstrate that such attention is warranted, and these data have helped identify populations where the burden of asthma in the state is particularly high.
