Abstract

Background: Food allergy has been documented to have a profound impact on parents of children with food allergy, with caregivers reporting a significant impact on quality of life (QoL) and psychological distress. Parents have reported increased stress, anxiety, worry and low mood in relation to their child’s food allergy, and therefore interventions aimed at mitigating this impact are of prime importance. There has been emerging evidence to suggest that interventions involving Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) have the potential to improve these outcomes.
