Prior to the lecture, Yokohama City conducted a questionnaire survey on children's allergies.
Thank you very much for your understanding.

Target: Caregivers living in Yokohama with children aged 0 to 12 years old (regardless of allergic diseases)
Period: July 15 - September 15, 2019
Method: Web questionnaire using Yokohama City Electronic Application System
Total number of responses: 162 (Name)

Approximately 90% of caregivers who responded to this questionnaire had children between the ages of 0 and 4 years old. More than half of the respondents had regular visits to the child's allergic symptoms, and more than 85% were worried about their child's allergies. Specifically, there were many concerns about emergency response and future prospects, but on the other hand, about 30% of those who felt uneasy answered that there was no consultation even if they felt uneasy . In addition to testing and treatment, there were many questions about what to be aware of in daily life for all diseases, in addition to testing and treatment.
From the results of this questionnaire, it was found that children's allergic diseases are directly linked to daily life.

Skincare leaflets are distributed at Check ups for Infants and Toddlers and others.
