7 Ways to Prepare for Halloween with Allergies and Asthma
Research News
New Pediatric and Adult Food Allergy Prevalence
Manuscripts Accepted for Publication!
We are very excited to announce that our updated data on the national
prevalence of food allergy in children and adults will be published in early
November and December!
Between October 2015-2016, our team administered a survey to a
representative sample of over 80,000 US households to estimate the national
prevalence of food allergy. We aimed to determine how many children and
adults in the US have food allergy and assess the type, severity, and
demographic and atopic predictors of food allergy among these groups. We are
eager to share the updated results.
Be on the lookout for "The Public Health Impact of Parent-Reported Food
Allergies in the United States" in Pediatrics come November 19th and "The
Public Health Impact of Adult Food Allergies" in JAMA Network Open in
December.

Needs in Food Allergy Research.” Here, she will give insight to identifying
unmet needs in Food Allergy prevention, acknowledging pediatrician, allergist
and food allergy families’ roles in management.

Food Allergy?” This presentation will show the evolving evidence surrounding
how population data directly affects food allergy health care costs, the number
