Food-related allergic reactions and anaphylaxis management survey
Exit survey - NO submission

1. Kids with Food Allergies and Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh - Introduction

The purpose of this research study is to look at food-related allergic reactions in children that caused them to be urgently SEEN by a medical professional for the FIRST TIME (when it is not yet known that the child is prone to food allergies), either DURING the reaction or just afterwards. We are collecting information about what was done for your child either while the reaction was happening or immediately afterwards, not medical care that occurred in the days, weeks, or months afterwards.

This research hopes to raise awareness about food-related allergic reactions and anaphylaxis, a potentially fatal disorder, and the proper management of allergic reactions and anaphylaxis in the acute setting for both patients and medical professionals.

Parents (of food-allergic children) are invited to complete a brief questionnaire (15 minutes).

If you are willing to participate, our questionnaire will ask about demographics, past medical history, medications, family history, symptoms, treatment and outcome concerning your child’s first food-allergic reaction that prompted care from a medical professional.

There are no foreseeable risks associated with this project, nor are there any direct benefits to you or your individual child. Our hope is that food-allergic children and their families generally will benefit from what we learn in this survey.

This is an entirely anonymous questionnaire, and your responses will not be identifiable in any way. Your participation is voluntary, and you may withdraw from this project at any time. Our intention is to present and publish this data in order to raise awareness and provide education, and all results will be completely anonymous.

This study is being conducted by Dr. Todd Green at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, who can be reached at 412-692-7885 (phone) or todd.green@chp.edu (email) if you have any questions.
