Food Allergy Registry and Awareness Campaign in Puerto Rico
Study Purpose
Food Allergies affect 8% of children and 11% of adults, and there are increasing trends worldwide. Suffering food allergies reduces the quality of life and increases ED visits, hospitalizations, and mortality. Minorities in the United States suffer an increased food allergy burden, with higher prevalence, morbidity, and decreased use of preventive measures. Limited information is available in Puerto Rico. Moreover, advances in food allergy diagnostics, prevention, and treatment offer new hope for patients. We aim to develop a de-identified physician-diagnosed food allergy registry in Puerto Rico to characterize the food allergy population demographics, comorbidities, healthcare use, treatment, and quality of life. Our second aim is to educate patients with web-based posts to improve knowledge and awareness of food allergies.

Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
