Popis: Background As adolescents transition away from the comforts of their homes and parental guidance and into a more independent and changing lifestyle, those who are food allergic also become part of a high at-risk population for severe anaphylaxis. Many fatal and near fatal anaphylaxis due to foods occur in young adults and teens and this age group has a great need for food allergy education as they encounter themselves developing hypothetical-deductive logic, risk-taking and greater self-consciousness.
