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

Target: Carers with children between the ages of 0 and 12 living in Yokohama City (regardless of allergic diseases)
Period: July 15-September 15, 2013
Method: Web questionnaire using Yokohama-shi electronic application system
Total number of responses: 162 (Name)

Approximately 90% of caregivers who responded to this questionnaire were children between the ages of 0 and 4. More than half of the respondents had regular visits to their children's allergic symptoms, and more than 85% were worried about their children's allergies. Specifically, there were many concerns about emergency response and future prospects, but on the other hand, about 30% of those who were worried answered that there was no consultation even if they were worried. Regarding the information I wanted to know for each disease, in addition to testing and treatment, there were many questions about taking care of all diseases in my daily life.
From the results of this questionnaire, we found how allergic diseases of children are directly linked to their daily lives.

We distribute skincare leaflets at Check ups for Infants and Toddlers, 4-month-old children.
