The main research goal of the EFA survey was to get an overview of how Europe is doing in the area of respiratory allergies (specifically allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma). EFA wanted to hear the voice of patients through their national associations in order to understand what needs to be done to improve awareness of the importance of prevention, an early diagnosis and management of respiratory allergies. The empirical research aims were to: 1) evaluate allergy and asthma in European countries from an epidemiological, medical and social point of view as seen from the patient’s perspective; 2) learn about issues that are important for patients and for the activities of patients’ associations and 3) illustrate the work done by patients’ associations to enable them to share best practices
