OLS Spatial Regression Model for Childhood Asthma Visits and Heating Fuels (2011-2018)

OLS Spatial Regression Model for Childhood Asthma Visits and Heating Fuels (2011-2018)

OLS spatial regression model for childhood asthma visits to the emergency department and household heating fuels by county in Arizona, Colorado, and Utah.

An OLS spatial regression was performed to look at the relationship between children ages 5-14 visiting an emergency department for asthma and the explanatory variables of the percentage of children under the age of 18 living in poverty, fuels used to heat the home, and the percentage of people who currently smoke. All data was county-level for the states of Arizona, Colorado, and Utah for 2011-2018. New Mexico asthma data were not available.
