Along with the usual risk factors for asthma such as smoking and poverty, researchers have added another: a neighborhood where individuals live in fear

USA Today (Society for the Advancement of Education),  August, 2004  

> Along with the usual risk factors for asthma such as smoking and poverty, researchers have added another: a neighborhood where individuals live in fear. "People in poor neighborhoods who don't trust one another, who live in a climate of fear, may be more likely to lock themselves in their apartments, where they are exposed to indoor allergens that can trigger asthma," contends Christopher Browning, assistant professor of sociology at Ohio State University, Columbus.
