title: Controlling allergies by assessing risks in the home.
abstract: Nurses and other health care providers will encounter children with allergies and asthma in virtually all practice sites. The skills with which they are able to assist these children and their families will depend on their understanding of the precipitating allergens and the most economical, feasible, and effective ways to reduce exposure to them.
