Target Audience
This educational activity is directed toward allergists/immunologists, internists, pediatricians, NPs, PAs, and RNs. Other healthcare professionals involved in the management of patients with food allergy are invited to participate as well.
Activity Overview
Children with peanut allergies and their families often experience a profoundly reduced health-related quality of life. Data show that food allergy affects 4% to 7% of primary school children. A national allergy database demonstrated that peanut was the most common trigger among 105 cases of food-induced anaphylaxis. Living with peanut allergy can lead to fear and anxiety regarding the risk of exposure and reaction to the allergen.
The PER Postgame™ is an innovative and unique webcast by PER®. It is an in-depth, engaging data recap program, focusing on novel therapeutic agents and emerging treatment strategies discussed at major medical meetings. This program focuses on abstracts presented at the 2022 American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) annual meeting.
