Randomized trial evaluates psychosocial risk factors affecting respiratory symptoms in toddlers, highlighting intervention needs.

This study aims to characterize psychosocial risk factors for respiratory symptoms in high-risk toddlers with recurrent wheeze.
Enrolled participants aged 18-36 months with recurrent wheeze living in metro Denver.
Caregivers surveyed on individual-level psychosocial factors and assessed neighborhood-level risk using the Childhood Opportunity Index.
Univariate linear regression models evaluated associations between psychosocial factors and TRACK scores.
Reporting ≥3 social barriers was associated with a 16-point decrease in TRACK scores (95% CI [-29,-3.7]; p = 0.012).
61% of children had uncontrolled respiratory symptoms according to TRACK score with a median of 75 [55-85].
No statistically significant associations were found between household income, caregiver education, and TRACK scores.

Paracha et al. (2026) studied this question.
