Going through life with allergies
Around 20 percent of 13 to 16-year-olds are affected by allergies . Like the aha! foundation, the Swiss Society for the Health of Adolescents (SGGA) promotes prevention and health behavior among young people by providing information and services.
The phase between childhood and adulthood is decisive for the later understanding of health, prevention, illness and medical treatment.

This can have an influence on the health behavior and disease development of adolescents.
