Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Parents of Children with Allergic Airway Diseases
This cohort includes parents or primary caregivers of children aged 2-18 years who have been clinically diagnosed with allergic airway diseases (asthma and/or allergic rhinitis) by a pediatric allergy specialist. Participants will complete a structured questionnaire assessing their awareness, knowledge, and preventive behaviors regarding air pollution and air quality.
Air Quality Knowledge Questionnaire
A structured, self-administered questionnaire on air quality and pollution will be provided to all participants.
The survey consists of a total of 23 main items and an additional demographic information section.
The demographic section collects data on parent's age, gender, education level, occupation, and the child's age, gender, diagnosis (asthma and/or allergic rhinitis), and disease duration.
The main questionnaire includes:
* 5 items assessing knowledge of air pollution and air quality concepts;
* 10 items measuring awareness of air pollution sources, health impacts, and environmental conditions;
* 8 items evaluating attitudes and protective behaviors toward air pollution (e.g., monitoring air quality index, modifying outdoor activities, using indoor air filters).
Responses are based on a Likert-type scale. The tool is designed to quantify parental understanding, awareness, and preventive practices related to air quality in the context of childhood allergic airway diseases.
