Lone Star Market Research is looking for Austin Area parents or caregivers of 4-11 year old children with a severe food allergy.  This is a three part study which will include a two hour home interview, a short journal, and a brief follow up phone call. Study participants will receive $350.  We are looking for a very specific demographic.  Please fill out the short pre-survey and we will call qualified applicants.

This study will help a major healthcare company better develop treatments for food allergies.  Your participation in this study will ultimately result in bringing better ideas and treatments for those who live with food allergies, and the health professionals who treat it.  Help us pass the word.  

 

Note: There is no compensation for filling out this survey. Completing the survey does not guarantee you will be selected to participate. We will call respondents who we feel are a good fit.
