A cross-sectional study examined children between the ages of 1 and 17 to determine the prevalence of asthma and of indoor environmental risk factors for childhood asthma. Data was collected by questionnaires, which were completed by each child's primary caretaker. Having a smoker in the household was found to be a significant risk factor for childhood asthma. The following 2X2 table illustrates the study findings related to this risk factor.
