  • Asthma-Related Mortality

    • Annual Reports on Asthma Deaths in Michigan (2002-2007)
      (Note: Scroll down the page to the Past Surveillance Initiatives / Asthma Deaths)
      (Michigan State University and Michigan Department of Community Health)
      With grant funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Michigan Department of Community Health, in conjunction with Michigan State University, developed a rapid asthma death notification and investigation system for the state of Michigan. During the first four years of the project (2002-2005), the system was limited to investigations of asthma deaths among children and young adults ages 2-34. In 2006 and then again in 2007, in-depth investigations for asthma deaths among 2-18 year olds continued, while the focus for in-depth investigations of adult asthma deaths was changed to 45-54 year olds. A less intensive review of asthma deaths in all other age groups that began in 2006 was continued.
