Abstract

Allergic diseases are significant global health problems. Despite many efforts, their rates remain high and have been on the rise. Furthermore, significant disparities persist among impoverished and multiple minority populations. Unfortunately, inequities are found along the entire epidemiologic and clinical indices linked to these conditions, including their prevalence, pathogenesis, severity, and delivery of health care. This chapter presents the current status of allergic disease disparities from the viewpoint of access to and quality of care and how they impact the diseases outcomes. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
