We’re excited to announce that our first research study has been published, and Dr. Michael is a co-author!
Food Allergy Trends and Epinephrine Autoinjector Presence in Summer Camps was published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and aimed to determine the prevalence of food allergies among campers; identify campers with co-morbid asthma, which puts them at higher risk of life-threatening anaphylaxis; and ascertain how many food-allergic children bring epinephrine auto-injectors with them to camp.
De-identified data provided by CampDoc.com, showed that nearly 3% of children who attend summer camp have food allergies, but only 40% of them have a prescribed epinephrine auto-injector with them.
