Results:Hospital of residency did not change answers to the questions, but presence of private office and duration of practice did. Among pediatricians who owned private office, 82.4% said the sentence:"systemic steroids have a role in acute asthma exacerbation treatment" was true, compared to the 47.1% of the ones without private office (p= 0.014). Referral to pediatric allergy center during or after acute asthma exacerbation was significantly lower among the pediatricians who owned private Office (p= 0.002 and p= 0.016 respectively). Duration of practice as a pediatrician influenced knowledge about use of inhaled steroids in asthma (p=.005). Conclusions:In conclusion, duration of practice and presence of private office influence knowledge and practice of general pediatricians about asthma and its treatment.
