New Delivery Models of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy–Based Interventions for Food Allergy Anxiety
Food allergy (FA) imposes a significant psychosocial burden on children, adolescents, and their families.1 A diagnosis of FA can increase stress and anxiety for families, whereas procedures such as oral food challenges and food immunotherapy require families to shift from strict avoidance to intentional allergen exposure, which can be anxiety-provoking. Effective management of anxiety is important because if left unaddressed, food allergy anxiety (FAA) affects outcomes along the continuum of care (Figure 1).
