Assessing Risk of Food Insecurity Within Households of Children With Food Allergy

NCT01897506 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: 201920
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 650
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Our central hypothesis is that dietary limitations introduced by food allergy will contribute to increased food insecurity in households with food allergic children when compared to food insecure households without food allergic children.

Conditions

Food Allergy; Asthma; Allergic Rhinitis; Atopic Dermatitis; Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Keywords

Food insecurity; Health literacy; Quality of life

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Presence of food insecurity within an atopic population

  The primary outcome variable of interest is the presence of food insecurity (patients with Low Food Security or Very Low Food Security). A chi-square test of independence will be used to test the association between food insecurity and food allergy.

  1.25 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Health Literacy Rate

  1.25 years

Other Outcomes (1)

• Quality of life of families with food allergic members

  1.25 years

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 1 Year - 17 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Families with children who have allergy appointments at Arkansas Children's Hospital between 1-17 years of age. We will recruit 325 families with patients in the food allergy group and 325 families with patients in the without food allergy group.

You may qualify if:

• Parents whose child has an allergy appointment with the Allergy and Immunology Department at Arkansas Children's Hospital between 1-17 years of age with allergic disease

You may not qualify if:

• Parents whose child has an allergy appointment with the Allergy and Immunology Department at Arkansas Children's Hospital less than 1 years of age or 18 years of age and older will not be eligible to participate in this study. Children with immunodeficiency disease will be excluded.
