The prevalence of asthma and atopic diseases continues to rise. Genetic factors alone cannot explain this rapid rise and the immunological mechanisms involved are insufficiently explained to allow direct intervention on a population-wide scale.

This review discusses the "who", "how", "when" and "what" of primary prevention and the experiences to date in prospective intervention cohort studies.
