Food allergy-related bullying and associated peer dynamics among Black and White children in the FORWARD study

Social well-being among children with vs without food allergy before and during coronavirus disease 2019

“…As noted by Brown et al, food-allergic racialized children may experience different kinds of bullying, specifically non-food allergy related. 6 This study does not provide race-specific data on rates of bullying, which is a limitation of the study.

Exploring Risks Associated With Bullying Perpetration Among Hispanic/Latino Adolescents: Are They Similar for Foreign-Born and U.S.-Born?

“…Existing research on racial and ethnic differences in bullying has yielded inconsistent findings (see Xu et al, 2020, for a review). Moreover, a gap in research on racial and ethnic differences in bullying remains, as a large body of research on racial/ethnic bullying has focused specifically on the differences between Whites and African American adolescents in bullying experiences (Brown et al, 2021; Hong et al, 2020; Hong et al, 2021; Shelley et al, 2021; Wang et al, 2009) or solely on bullying victimization of racial and ethnic minority students and foreign-born students who had immigrated to the U.S.A.

Separating Fact from Fiction in the Diagnosis and Management of Food Allergy

In a questionnaire of 87 caregivers of children with food allergy, more than 60% reported that food allergy significantly affected meal preparation, 49% reported that it affected family social activities, 41% reported it had a significant impact on stress levels, and 34% reported that it impacted school attendance (with 10% choosing home schooling because of a food allergy).…”
