Otolaryngologists were the most frequent providers of sublingual drops of AIT (SLIT; 33%), compared to 2% to 10% of other specialties. AIT was recommended for adults with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis by 100% of allergist\/immunologists vs 62% to 84% of the other specialties (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). The primary reason for recommending AIT for adults (52%) or children (46%) was that other therapies did not work. Between 48% (nurse practitioners\/physician assistants) and 93% (allergist\/immunologists) of practitioners always or often decreased symptomatic medications over the course of AIT treatment. Most practitioners in all specialties (82\u2013100%) thought that AIT was appropriate for patients with severe allergy symptoms. Significantly more allergist\/immunologists and otolaryngologists than other specialists thought AIT was appropriate for mild allergy symptoms (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001 and <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.004, respectively, vs other specialties). Significantly more allergist\/immunologists than other specialists thought that AIT was more effective than symptomatic medications (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001), could reduce the further development of allergies (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.03), and could prevent the development of asthma.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>SCIT was more frequently provided than SLIT by all the specialties. Otolaryngologists were the most likely to offer SLIT, while very few allergist\/immunologists offered SLIT.
