The purpose of this data driven qualitative research is to understand how parents manage the treatment of their children with allergies, in particular, any problems with the administration of the medication for their children with allergies and how they overcome these problems. Participants will be parents of children with allergies mainly allergic rhinitis/conjunctivitis and additional allergic conditions like asthma or eczema.
