A survey of the prevalence and treatment of asthma and hay fever in a small town in East Sussex, by Sonya Leff, published July 1986 in Public Health (vol. 100, issue 4, article, pp.205-207)
Abstract:Concern had been expressed by teachers and parents about a seemingly high incidence of asthma and hayfever amongst school children, and about the numbers of children using inhaled antispasmodics during the school day in Seaford. A twelve month survey was undertaken which showed an incidence reflecting the findings of the National Child Development Study (NCDS). It is suggested that the effectiveness of inhaled antispasmodics has resulted in more asthmatic children being educated in ordinary schools rather than in those for the physically delicate.
