Parental Understanding and Implementation of Early Peanut Introduction
This qualitative study found that although parents were aware of EPI, there was confusion around its purpose, implementation, and risk factors. The main barrier for most parents was the risk of an allergic reaction during EPI. Clear and directive guidance from their pediatrician was a facilitator for successful EPI implementation.
