Abstract
Approximately 80% of pediatric asthma cases are allergic in nature, with exacerbations occurring in response to environmental triggers. National guidelines recommend allergy testing for patients with asthma to identify and manage sensitized triggers because this testing enhances pediatric providers’ ability to predict asthma development and exacerbations. However, this practice is commonly underutilized by outpatient providers in the primary care setting. The purpose of this project is to conduct a statewide survey of Georgia pediatric nurse practitioners’ beliefs on implementing IgE allergy testing in their management of pediatric patients with persistent asthma symptoms.
