This observational study aims at developing and validating a simple questionnaire to be routinely applied in the clinical practice, for the evaluation of the quality of life in children with concomitant asthma and allergic rhinitis. The study consists of two phases: Phase 1: Development of the RAPP-children questionnaire starting from the validated RHINASTHMA-children questionnaire. Phase 2: Administration and validation of the RAPP-children questionnaire. 150 children with concomitant asthma and allergic rhinitis will be followed-up for one month. Both at baseline and after one month, the RAPP children and several other standardized questionnaires will be administered.
