@entity1 @entity1173
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the social awareness of the risk of nuts @entity1173 and the relationship with the occupation of parents. MATERIAL AND METHODS: From January 2013 to January 2014, a self-designed survey was distributed to 247 parents of @entity1 under 14 years admitted to our centre, regardless of the reason for admission. The statistical significance was calculated using confidence intervals (CI). The Pearson Chi-square test was used to analyse the ignorance of this problem depending on the educational level extrapolated from the occupation of respondents. RESULTS: 247 parents responded to the survey. 60.3% (95% CI 54.1-66.2%) confirmed that nuts were included in birthday parties. 30.4% (95% CI 25-36.4%) confirmed that celebrations with nuts at their @entity1 's nursery were made. 42.1% (95% CI 36.1-48.3%) believed that nuts were harmless for their young @entity1 . The age of administration of nuts was independent on the educational level extrapolated of parents (  2 = 10.721, p = 0.295), although it did influence on the ignorance of the danger of nuts (41.2% (95% CI 30.3-53%) of respondents with occupations that required higher educational level compared to 55.4% (95% CI 42.4-67.6%) of those with occupation that required less educational level (  2 = 14.678, p = 0.002)). CONCLUSIONS: Regardless of the occupation, there is widespread ignorance concerning the age of introduction of nuts in @entity1 's diet. Given the incidence and severity of the risk of @entity1173 , more prevention programs are necessary, and Health Authorities should take side in public awareness of this problem.
