摘要
Food allergy is a worldwide challenge for children and their caregivers. Parent's awareness of food allergies is an important aspect to deal with reactions induced by food items. In Saudi Arabia data from 862 participants was gathered to assess their awareness about the child food allergy. The research was conducted by using an electronic questionnaire which was comprised of 27 different questions related to food allergy. All of the data was analyzed using SPSS. The results showed that few of the parents in Saudi Arabia were aware of food allergy but there was still an optimal need to deal with the disease condition rightly. Proper awareness of food allergies can prevent children from developing severe reactions.
