From the Pages of Allergy Watch (Sept-20)

For the September edition of From the Pages of AllergyWatch, I have chosen reviews of articles focusing on topics that affect shared decision making. The first study examines the fact that perceived triggers of asthma can affect the quality of life (QoL). The next report studied the importance of school experience, particularly the interaction with teachers and staff to help children manage their asthma. The last summary reviews a study analyzing the influence of socioeconomic differences affecting the higher prevalence and exacerbation rate for asthma in African American patients (Stanley Fineman, MD, Editor in Chief, Allergy Watch.).
