General questionnaire

Dear colleague,


We would like to invite you to take part in this project by completing this questionnaire. The goal is to gather relevant information regarding Food-Allergen immunotherapy (F-AIT) practices and specific resources. We would like to receive a single response from every centre in Europe currently performing immunotherapy for IgE-mediated food allergy. Please let your colleagues know if you have completed this questionnaire on behalf of your centre.


Throughout this questionnaire Food Allergen Immunotherapy, is abbreviated to Food-AIT and is defined, according to the last EAACI Position Paper by Pajno et al, as: “…the delivery of gradually increasing doses of specific allergen to increase the threshold of reaction while on therapy (also known as desensitization) and ultimately to achieve post-discontinuation effectiveness (also known as tolerance or sustained unresponsiveness)”.

All responses will be anonymous prior to analysis and publication.
Please, bear in mind that “your centre” – refers to the place where you provide F-AIT, whether independently in your own clinic or as a team within a hospital. Also, “your patients” refer to BOTH children and adults you may be treating with F-AIT.

This questionnaire will take from 10-15 minutes to complete, depending on your options.
