## A premature newborn

{% hint style="info" %}
While asthma affects 8% of children born at full term, it affects 14% of preterm babies according to a set of results published on *PLoS Medicine Journal*

We challenge our own and others' assumptions through qualitative and quantitative research. Not sure about an idea? Test it.
