Responding to the need for allergy education
MY ALLERGY GUIDE™ was designed to meet an evident need – and strong desire – for comprehensive allergy education. In a 2006 nationwide survey*:
- Nearly 90% of patients with allergic rhinitis said there is a strong or moderate need for better allergy education
- The vast majority of healthcare professionals in the survey perceived a strong or moderate need for better patient education, including:
- 98% of allergists surveyed (n=100)
- 95% of otolaryngologists (n=100)
- 95% of primary care physicians (n=100)
- 100% of nurse practitioners or physician assistants (n=100)
