چکیده
Objective/purpose Outpatient management of food allergy is suboptimal. Few studies have compared allergists’ and patients’ perspectives on food allergy management. Our goal was to assess patients’ and caregivers’ education experiences, learning needs, and confidence level in managing food allergy; and to examine allergists’ teaching priorities, challenges, and strategies for caring for these patients. Our data provides feedback to health care providers that may lead to better management of food allergy.
