which are present in the children and adults with a diagnosis

the asthmatic patient benefit from the medical treatment he is
receiving. The writer sets forth the following questions to
be answered: 1) What are the reasons for referral to the socia~
service department? 2) What are the factors in the environment
which seem to be impeding treatment? 3) What methods are ;
used by the social worker in trying to remove the obstacles?
