Patient-Centered Research

Allergy & Asthma Network spearheaded an online survey of parents and caregivers in 2023 to learn if children’s fear of needles impacted healthcare decisions. Most preferred sublingual tablets (SLIT) over allergy shots when undergoing allergen immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis. The survey results continue the Network’s mission to lead more parent-centered research.

Allergy & Asthma Network is “getting the word out” about neffy and the response from the allergy community has been extremely positive, Lynda says. “Patients, families and healthcare professionals are excited to have a new treatment option.”
