Use and users of the online self-management training “Living with food allergy”

Background An online self-management training “Living with food allergy” has been developed for patients with a doctor’s diagnosed food allergy (FA) to increase patient’s selfmanagement. A multidisciplinary team for food allergy developed the training. The online training consists of information, video’s, patient’s stories and exercises with feedback. The modules are “What is FA”; “How is it diagnosed”; “What to do in case of allergic reaction”; “Diet & food allergy”; “Cross-reactivity”; “Coping with FA in daily life”. The training was launched at the end of 2010, first for patients of the UMC Utrecht and later for all patients in the Netherlands. Since 2013 data about use of different modules are available.
