Title of project: 
Determinants of social inequalities in respiratory health: Findings from the EU Child Cohort Network
Proposal summary: 

Asthma disproportionately affects children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Few studies have estimated and compared how early years risk factors explain the social inequalities in childhood asthma across different countries. This study will examine the social distribution and prevalence of asthma and investigate how specific early years risk factors might underpin any observed social inequalities in childhood asthma in LifeCycle cohorts.

Impact of research: 
This study will help to identify interventions that could potentially reduce observed social inqualities in respiratory health.
