Currently there is no known research on the prevalence of pediatric asthma in the Dominican Republic (DR) and no known asthma risk assessment tool for one-time encounters in a fast-paced clinic. Objectives: To pilot a streamlined version of previously validated screening tools to estimate the prevalence of pediatric asthma risk in Santo Domingo Norte, DR. Methods: A combined asthma questionnaire and <a title="Learn more about Clinical Assessment" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/clinical-assessment">clinical assessment</a> tool was developed and administered to patients aged 2-12 years. Findings: We found that 25.7% of the 74 study participants were categorized as probable asthma, 21.6% were at high risk for asthma, 14.9% elevated risk, and 37.8% not at risk. Conclusion: If the prevalence of 25.7% is representative of the DR as a whole, the DR would have one of the highest national rates in Latin America.
