Research on health literacy among caregivers of children with IgE-mediated allergy at risk of anaphylaxis (life-threatening allergic reaction). Health literacy is a person's ability to understand health information so that they can maintain or improve their health and quality of life (of themself and children). The aim of the study is to test the general knowledge of anaphylaxis. Furthermore we test the extent to which caregivers consider themselves able to recognize and to treat anaphylaxis.
