There is a heavy body of growing research that indicates an association between asthma and toxic stress. Currently, there are no standard asthma management guidelines that account for the impact of asthma, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress on asthma. In May 2020, the National Committee on Asthma and Toxic Stress (NCATS), a partnership between the Center for Youth Wellness and the Sean N. Parker Center for Asthma and Allergy at Stanford, convened a webinar to discuss research on asthma and toxic stress and present the NCATS Consensus Statements, the first steps in creating clinical management guidelines for asthma in the setting of toxic stress. Review this webinar to learn more about this connection. CMEs are available for watching this webinar.
