Participants
Primary and secondary schools across Cumbria, North West of England, UK were invited to take part in a survey of school preparedness for anaphylaxis between 2015-2016. The results of this survey have been reported previously (7). Upon completion of the survey, schools were invited to participate in an intervention to receive training in allergy management.
The schools that responded and consented to receive training (n=183) were stratified into 6 groups according to their catchment area. Based on the resources available to the research team, a 10% convenience sample of consented schools (18 primary schools) were selected (every fourth school on the list) for onsite training intervention.
