Emerging health issues are those that pose either a threat or relief from threat to the overall health of the population.

Public health intervention programs are focus on young children from poor ethnic minority group of who live in urban area and facing high risk of asthma attack (Spagnola and Fiese, 2010). The program has further continuing researches to perceive the significant causation of the social background and child natural history of asthma in order to process all the policies of the asthma prevention and intervention (Spagnola and Fiese, 2010). The CDC, (201stated that prevalence has increased over the last 10 years, trends show that more people with asthma are controlling their disease. As a result of CDC’s work, people with asthma control their disease and live healthier, more productive
