Asthma severity seems to be a more salient stressor to parents than to their children, researchers in Colorado, Rhode Island and Texas revealed. Subjects were 337 asthmatic children, ages 7 years to 19 years, and a parent of each child. The children were recruited from asthma camps in New Hampshire (1991-'93) and Texas (1994) and from the medical/psychiatric unit at a Colorado tertiary referral hospital 1991-'93).
