Food Allergy Study

Amy Hahn, a graduate student at UMBC, is conducting a research study on food allergy knowledge. Mothers of children (0-18) are invited to participate.

"The measure we are developing", Hahn says,  "will be among the first of its kind.  The results of this study will help pediatricians and allergists determine how best to supplement the information that parents are typically given when receiving a food allergy diagnosis. The development of this food allergy knowledge test will also allow parents to examine their own knowledge and determine whether they would like additional information regarding diagnosis, treatment, responses to allergen exposure, or other aspects of managing their child’s food allergies."
