Researchers at the University of Bristol and the James Lind Alliance invite you to take part in the second phase of a UK-wide survey to prioritise the most urgent unanswered questions about childhood food allergy.

This is the second part of the project, following a survey that looked to find the most important questions for research to answer, and they now need your help to determine which the most important top 10 to answer are for you.

Please see the invitation below:

Food Allergy in Children Research Priority Setting Partnership (PSP)

Help us set the agenda for future research into food allergy in children.

915 people impacted by food allergy told us questions they want answered by future research, now have your say to pick the TOP 10.

This will help set the priorities for future research to ensure those who fund research focus on what really matters to both patients and clinicians, to help children with food allergies in the future.

This is part of a James Lind Alliance (JLA) Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) for Food Allergy Research in Children. You can find out more in this animated video.

What are we asking you to do?

Please show your support by:

  • completing the survey yourself
  • sharing the survey with patients, carers, colleagues and networks (via email, newsletter, social media)
  • keeping in touch with the project so that you can be invited to help in the next stage.

Who can join?
• Children & young people (under 19) diagnosed with a food allergy
• Parents & carers of children/young people with a food allergy
• Adults first diagnosed with a food allergy in childhood
• Healthcare professionals caring for children with food allergy
