Summary

This cross-sectional study aims to assess the level of awareness, knowledge, and preventive behaviors regarding air quality and air pollution among parents of children with physician-diagnosed allergic respiratory diseases (asthma and/or allergic rhinitis). The survey will evaluate parents' understanding of air pollution effects, sources, and protective measures, as well as sociodemographic and clinical correlates influencing awareness.

BEHAVIORAL

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.
