Objective: The examination of olfactory function of patients with psychophysical olfactory tests such as the “Sniffin' Stick” test is a central component of any olfactory clinical diagnostics and clinical trials. Because olfactory disorders can also occur in childhood, reliable, valid and time-efficient olfactory tests are important. With the “U-Sniff”, a child-friendly odor identification test that has already been sufficiently validated is available The aim of this study was to investigate whether untrained persons (e.g. parents with their children) are able to administer the “U-Sniff” odor identification test with appropriate guidance. Method: A total of 80 kindergarten children, aged 6 years, underwent an odor identification test. Half of the children were tested by their parents and the other half by a trained examiner. In addition, the examiner performed a concentration test (Kaseler Konzentrationsaufgaben). The results of the two groups were compared. Results: All children completed the rapid testing protocol. No significant differences between the results of the two testing procedures occurred. On average an odor identification score of 9.68 ± 2.02 points (mean ± SD) was reached in the examiner's group while 9.65 ± 2.38 points were observed in the parents’ group. Conclusion: It can be concluded that this study presents a new testing procedure using the “U-Sniff” odor identification test for children by untrained persons. Further validation of this test procedure examining olfactory impaired children should follow.
