This is a novel session that addresses the status of our understanding of food allergy in minority populations. The session is designed to include a hands-on activity that will begin prior to the meeting and is completed during the session. Participants will identify the elements needed to generate a survey/questionnaire about food allergy suited for minority populations.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe the barriers to assessing the impact of food allergy on minority populations
- Design a questionnaire/survey to gather data on food allergy from minority populations
- Discuss remedies for racial disparities in food allergy
