Friends, Family, and Food App: Improvements in Child Management Self-efficacy and Caregiver Communication

The Friends, Family, and Food App is a mobile application with experiential scenarios and multi-level games designed to improve children’s food allergy (FA) management. We evaluated changes in FA management self-efficacy and caregiver-child communication associated with App intervention versus standard care (i.e., brief office visit and educational handout) using a randomized, controlled trial with a crossover design.
