title: [The Charlottenburg Allergy Prevention Program 90. Early detection and prevention of allergic diseases by modifying mass screening of 3d grade students].
abstract: On the one hand, the Charlottenburg allergy prevention programme showed the spread of allergic diseases among the pupils of the third form of public schools, and on the other hand it familiarized parents, teachers and pupils with health promotion schemes under the slogan These who are informed well in time will suffer less. For the first time within the area of Berlin, the Charlottenburg district developed a quality standard in respect of screening and health promotion connected with allergy. This new focal point of attention was set up by means of mass screenings of pupils while at the same time critically reviewing previous routine methods, weeding out unnecessary procedures and emphasizing the essential. The difficult tasks confronting Public Health services in this regard could not be managed without outside help. This was forthcoming from partners recruited from the university, the sickness insurance bodies and self-help groups. The cooperation that developed in this manner was exemplary and might serve as a model for future on-target health prevention programmes.
