N2 - BACKGROUND: People affected by allergies with mild-to-moderate symptoms are often not treated adequately, despite the availability of prevention and self-therapy measures. Given their good and quick accessibility when seeking information, evidence- and web-based services that are user-friendly may strengthen a more independent way of handling an allergy and may also increase health literacy. In order for such services to be found and read, developers and providers need to know about information needs, demands and users' behavior.OBJECTIVES: On which occasions does the target group search for allergy-specific information? Which preferences and demands do affected persons have regarding a web-based service?MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three individual interviews and four focus groups with 37 participants (19-81 years; hay fever, n = 30; asthma, n = 17; eczema, n = 15) were conducted in four German cities. These were recorded and transcribed verbatim. A multiprofessional team developed a system for coding the texts (two independent encoders, MAXQDA analysis software).RESULTS: Those who are affected usually seek information only in case of a concrete need for action. Impulses are, among others, symptoms, suggestions from the social environment, the beginning of the allergy season or an allergy-related contact with the health system. A web-based service should primarily include information about treatment options, provide individualized support for everyday life action strategies, and promote adequate self-management skills.DISCUSSION: In order to promote self-management skills, a web-based service should focus on allergy symptoms, treatment options and day-to-day help.
