REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

General Objectives

4th Bullet: SPECIFY the risk factors (pollen fromgrasses, weeds, and trees within perimeter of 1-

2km)

5th Bullet: should add ACCORDING TO ARIA (andcheck for questionnaire or guidelines)

7th Bullet: OMIT because we cannot determine, WECAN ONLY INFER

Page 5, Risk Factors and Possible Confounders

Condition of the Room should be placed under Allergens/Irritants.

Emphasis here on paragraphs 1&2

Especially this line: These allergens commonlysurvive in environments that are warm, moist, andhumid. THIS is the reason why daw we wantedan AIRCONDITIONING SYSTEM. We need tostabilize the air temperature so as to decrease the

population of allergens and dust.

We have to evaluate the VENTILATION SYSTEM

of the classroom because this will aid in our analysisof our data. IF the classroom is devoid of anairconditioning system but then it is equipped with agood ventilation system that circulates the air welland puts the allergens out, then it would be a goodoption for alternative because it is also considered aWELL VENTILATED classroom.

Therefore, we must find guidelines or criteria thatwould differentiate WELL from POORLYVENTILATED rooms.

We should also review SOURCE number [23] to gainideas for TRIGGERS.

Dust collectors include CARPETS, CURTAINS,SOFAS, and CEILING! (check these on-site).

We need to include the risk factors that CAN ONLYBE IDENTIFIED and MEASURED. This means thatwe need a tool in order to define and measure the saidfactors.

Emphasized that molds to be evaluated are the

VISIBLE ones.

Conceptual framework NEEDSIMPROVEMENT. Ako na bahala dito.

A CONFOUNDING VARIABLE is a factorassociated with the INDEPENDENT variable andcan BRING ABOUT CHANGE in theDEPENDENT VARIABLE.

RESEARCH DESIGN

Research Question and objectives: USE SEVERITY not exacerbation/alleviation. Exposure..affect theseverity of allergic rhinitis.

ANO GUSTO NIYO? Affect or aggravate

Frequency may be divided into intermittent and persistent.

She added that aircon STABILIZES the humidity.

Steps to be undertaken

FIRST daw, you need to:

Randomly select 2 High schools inDasmarinas,Cavite one with aircon, one without.

In evaluating the classroom, Kristine mentioned achecklist that we need to put in the APPENDIX

part (which we dont have yet. HAHA)

In screening the students, she was nice enough tosuggest using a tool from ISAAC. (Please search onthis).

We scrap out the original THIRD step, cause its toohard to do. (Actually, just omit the first sentence of the third step).

She added that we also inspect if the building is OLDOR NEW, but only if we can find a tool toMEASURE and evaluate building structure.

Schematic Diagram: Imagine niyo nalang nakaschematic diagram siya. HAHA.

Select randomly

Evaluate classroom condition using a checklist (witha tool or made by ourselves)

Determine +/- AR

Severity of AR

ALSO! We need to choose a tool that can beDISSEMINATED to the students instead of USASSESSING the students ourselves. She said thatISAAC is more preferred and agrees with the former,while ARIA is the latter.

Yun lamang po. Please divide and conquer. If corrections fall under your part, do the necessarywork and revisions.

SPICA, RAINA, CHEL. Please help us find tools andchecklists. THANK YOU!
