Happy Air: a school-based educational program to maximize detection of asthma in children
Objective:
To investigate whether an active partnership among school, parents, and pediatricians allows early identification and treatment of asthmatic children.
Methods:
An asthma educational program (Happy Air), based on a strong family-physician-school interrelationship, was performed in six primary schools (2,765 children) before administering a screening questionnaire to the parents.
Results:
A high response rate (96%) demonstrated 2,649 responders available for the asthma screening: 135 children (5%) received a diagnosis of asthma, of which 37 (27%) were recognized de novo.
Conclusion:
The active participation of school and parents is the determining factor for the success of an asthma screening program.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
