Understanding food insecurity, food allergy management and related psychosocial burden---possible determinants of food allergy disparities in a national community-based survey

Food allergy (FA) may be disproportionately prevalent and burdensome among populations of non-White race/ethnicity and/or populations with lower socioeconomic status in the US. To ameliorate health disparities in FA, data are needed regarding barriers to successful management—particularly among patients who are at-risk. Specifically, this study aims to better understand relationships between FA-related psychosocial burden, disease management, and food insecurity (FI).
