Food Allergy Safety During Covid-19

[GoingNuts]

This was forwarded to me by my local Support Group Leader:

My name is Anne F. Russell, MS, BSN, RN, AE-C and I am conducting research in collaboration with Olga Kagan, PhD, RN on a study involving parents of 5 to 18 year old children with food allergy. The aim of the study is to identify parental perceptions regarding the impact of changes during the COVID-19 pandemic on the safety of their children with food allergy. We are recruiting parents of children with food allergy to complete the online survey which takes about 5 minutes to finish.



Parents interested in voluntarily participating in this research study can access the online survey using this link:

More information about the study is provided at this online Google Survey link which should be read prior to taking the survey.



This note is a request for you to please disseminate this information about the opportunity for parent members of your food allergy support group to participate in this study along with providing them the online link to the parent survey.



Sharing information about this study opportunity using your support group parental member email list as well as social media platforms would be greatly appreciated.
