Assessing Preparedness and Preventive Measures for Managing Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis in Primary Schools of Rabigh, Saudi Arabia

While some primary schools in Rabigh reported strengths such as designated staff and emergency communication systems, substantial gaps were observed in preventive measures, including mealtime supervision and food-sharing policies. Preparedness varied across schools, with those without known allergic pupils less likely to implement preventive practices. These findings underscore the importance of standardised policies and regular staff training to ensure readiness for allergic emergencies in all schools.
