Preliminary research results
By KUStudent on Tue, 06-06-06, 18:03
Hi PA families!
A while ago I had posted a message looking for participants for a questionnaire-based study of children with PA and their families. I presented the preliminary results at the National Conference on Child Health in April.
A copy of the poster is available (I am not able to attach it here) by e-mail for anyone who is interested.
The data is based on 37 families, many who learned about the study from this website.
Here are some highlights from the discussion section:

We participated before... becuase of flyers that you were handing out at a meeting our allergist was attending. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]
My daughter was only 5 at the time but is now almost 7.
We would be happy to participate again if you'll have us...
Just e-mail me in my profile.

I will still be doing the study until the Spring. So anyone who has little ones about to turn 6 I can have you participate once they do.

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered!
Some of you have volunteered but your e-mail is not available through your profile, so I am having trouble contacting you. If you have this disabled you can contact me with your mailing address at [email]kroy@ku.edu[/email]
And to the international members, I can send the packets internationally to Canada only (I only have so many funds for the project [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img])
FYI: I just received a grant from the Food Allergy Initiative to complete the project, which greatly increases my chances of getting enough participants to publish the study! More info on this later.

We finished it yesterday, and it's sitting in the mailbox waiting for the mailman. It served 2 purposes for us--besides helping you, it was also practice reading/writing for DS during summer vacation [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img] .
