Participating in Food Allergy Studies

With so many food allergy studies going on, researchers are actively recruiting individuals to participate. Those interested in being a part of a clinical study can look at lists of ongoing studies at Clinical Trials.gov. This organization is a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Read Understanding Clinical Trials to get a full appreciation of the commitment involved in a study.

FAAN (Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network) also maintains a list of current study needs.

It's a big decision to participate in a study. It's even bigger when deciding if you should allow your child to do so. Give it careful consideration and make the best decision for your family.
