Fig 1 Asthma severity distribution by study group. Puerto Ricans (PR) had significantly milder asthma compared with RI Puerto Ricans (RI-PR; P < .001), RI Dominicans (RI-DR; P < .001), and RI whites (P < .001). There were no significant differences among the 3 groups in RI.

Fig 2 ED visits and hospitalizations in the past 12 months by study group. Puerto Ricans (PR) had significantly more ED visits (P < .001) compared with the 3 groups in RI. Island Puerto Ricans had more hospitalizations compared with RI whites and RI Dominicans (RI-DR; P < .001). RI Puerto Ricans (RI-PR) were not significantly different from island Puerto Ricans in hospitalizations.
