Correlational analyses were used to examine the association among SES variables, parent language, and coping, and t-tests were used to examine if coping differed by child race/ethnicity. Regression analyses examined if stress accounted for the associations between sociodemographic variables and coping. Results indicated that asthma-related stress explained the association between income and primary control coping, and between income and secondary control coping.application/pdfencopingpediatricasthmahealth disparitiesThesis2017-01-30
