Atopic diseases are common and becoming more prevalent. Efforts have focused on primary disease prevention by identifying high-risk children and applying preventative strategies. Family history was the most common method used to predict high risk of atopic disease in a child, but a minority of studies used a tested questionnaire to determine the presence of atopy in family members. The methods used to identify high-risk children are variable, and the development and widespread use of a validated, practical screening tool is needed.
