How do school food allergy policies affect the mental health of kiddos with food allergy?
What topic would you like discussed? Text us!
Schools develop food allergy-related policies to try to keep kids safe, but how many of these policies are evidence-based?
And how do policies impact the emotional well-being of kiddos with food allergy?
Join me as I talk with my colleague Ashley Lahoud of Kent State University's Pediatric Anxiety and Allergy Research Clinic. There, Ashley and her fellow researchers are studying just how school policies are affecting the mental health of children who have food allergy. By better understanding this issue, we will have more information by which to provide beneficial guidance to schools on developing policies regarding food allergy.
My favorite part of this episode is that YOU may be able to participate in this research study! If your kiddo is 5-12 years of age and has a food allergy, then you can take the survey and help Ashley and her team better understand the effects of school policies. Take the survey HERE.
Let me know what you think of this episode HERE.
