摘要

背景：食物过敏（FA）是一种具有公共卫生重要性的慢性疾病，估计每13名儿童中就有1名受到影响，每10名成人中就有1名受到影响。关于大学层面的政策和支持的研究有限。目的：更好地了解有和没有FA的大学生的经历，以确定改善FA大学生的安全和生活质量的途径。方法：对2021 - 2023年美国有和没有食物过敏的大学生进行在线横断面调查。描述性统计用于确定受访者人口统计、食物过敏知识、学生反应史、FA对社会生活的影响，以及改善校园FA安全和意识的建议。结果：共有204名来自美国72所大学的学生完成了这项调查，其中78人对食物过敏。在患有FA的学生中，41%的人报告说他们的大学没有意识到他们的FA， 28%的人在校园食堂经历过食物过敏反应，最常见的原因是食物贴错了过敏原标签（43%）。有FA的学生最希望对校园餐饮人员进行定期的FA培训（71%），并在食堂增加肾上腺素储备（59%），以提高校园安全。结论：为确保FA学生的安全，减少校园内的过敏反应，高校应加强对食物过敏学生的识别，加强对食堂工作人员的FA定期培训，增加食堂肾上腺素储备。

Determining avenues for improved food allergy support and safety on college campuses

Background

Food Allergy (FA) is a chronic disease with public health importance affecting an estimated 1 in 13 children and 1 in 10 adults. Limited research is available on policies and support available at the college level.

Objective

To better understand the experiences of college students with and without FA to determine avenues to improve safety and quality of life for college students with FA.

Methods

An online, cross-sectional survey was distributed to college students with and without FA in the United States from 2021 to 2023. Descriptive statistics were used to determine respondent demographics, FA knowledge, student reaction history, effects of FA on social life, and recommendations for improvement of FA safety and awareness on campus.

Results

A total of 204 students—78 with FA—completed the survey from 72 US universities. Of the students with FA, 41% reported that their university was not aware of their FA and 28% experienced a food allergic reaction in their campus dining hall, with the most common cause being food mislabeled with allergen (43%). Students with FA mostly endorsed wanting regular FA training for campus dining staff (71%) and increased availability of stock epinephrine in the dining halls (59%) to improve safety on campus.

Conclusion

To ensure the safety of students with FA and reduce reactions on campus, it is imperative that universities improve the identification of students with FA, increase regular FA training for dining staff, and increase the availability of stock epinephrine in dining halls.

期刊介绍： Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology is a scholarly medical journal published monthly by the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. The purpose of Annals is to serve as an objective evidence-based forum for the allergy/immunology specialist to keep up to date on current clinical science (both research and practice-based) in the fields of allergy, asthma, and immunology. The emphasis of the journal will be to provide clinical and research information that is readily applicable to both the clinician and the researcher. Each issue of the Annals shall also provide opportunities to participate in accredited continuing medical education activities to enhance overall clinical proficiency.
