چکیده
Aim Food Allergy may have an impact on socioeconomic (SE) aspects of life. The Europrevall study (EU FP6, 2005-2009) developed and validated a SE questionnaire to measure the direct, indirect and intangible costs of food allergy. This measure takes up to 1 hour to complete as participants are required to respond to 70 to 170 questions, depending on response choice. We aimed to develop a brief, reliable, standardized measure of the socio-economic impact of food allergy on patients’ everyday lives.
