ACAAI Roundtable on Atopic Dermatitis and Food Allergy
Proceedings and Recommendations
Both atopic dermatitis and food allergy represent allergic conditions that are more prevalent and severe among people of color than previously recognized, according to research. In addition, racial and ethnic considerations as well as socioeconomic factors contribute to barriers in accessing care and treatment for these conditions.
To better understand these overall disparity issues, ACAAI surveyed its members, conducted interviews with physicians and advocacy leaders, and hosted a roundtable discussion to further explore the challenges and discuss potential solutions.
Racial Disparities in Atopic Dermatitis and Food Allergy
The results of the survey and roundtable are summarized in a white paper, Racial Disparities in Atopic Dermatitis and Food Allergy; Physician and Advocacy Experts Describe Pervasive Problems and Identify a Top 10 Solutions Agenda.
The proceedings also are described with additional data and background in a Special Article, Proceedings of a Roundtable on Racial Disparities in Atopic Dermatitis and Food Allergy soon to be published in Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. Click to read the in-press article below.
