ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews allergy skin tests and allergen immunotherapy (AIT) consent forms. The primary objective of these forms is to provide sufficient information to be universally interpreted by physicians and other healthcare professionals, regardless of their practice location or training program. Forms should be sufficiently detailed to enable physicians to make treatment decisions. Also highlighted is the recommended information to include on these forms. The purpose of these objectives is to standardize skin testing and AIT procedures to enhance safety, accuracy, and efficacy of allergy diagnostic testing and AIT treatment. Detailed discussion with patients is important for shared decision-making and compliance to AIT treatment.
