To help set the priorities for future research, the University of Bristol is asking children and young people with food allergies, their parents, and health care professionals who care for them for their views.
One in five children in the UK are affected by food allergies, which can have an impact on their physical, emotional and social wellbeing, and that of their family too. There are many unanswered questions about the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of food allergy in children, and researchers do not know which are the most important to children, parents and health care professionals.
With funding from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), the University has teamed up with the James Lind Alliance – a not-for-profit organisation which looks to identify unanswered health research questions by reaching out to those most affected. Together they have launched a survey and are inviting children and young people, their parents and health care professionals to respond.
