Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate use of a mobile application (also commonly referred to as an app) designed to support caregivers of children with newly diagnosed food allergy. This study has 2 phases. In Phase 1, the researchers obtained feedback regarding use of mobile apps from caregivers who have been managing their child's food allergy for one year or more. The researchers then used this feedback to build a mobile app for caregivers of children with newly diagnosed food allergy. In Phase 2, the researchers will evaluate the mobile app during a 4-week evaluation period with a group of caregivers of children newly diagnosed with food allergy. The data obtained from this study will hopefully benefit caregivers of children with newly diagnosed food allergy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group 1

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Enhanced mobile app with standard of care and education

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Group 1 will download an enhanced mobile app that will include education and support resources related to food allergy and its management.

Group 2

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Enhanced mobile app with standard of care, education and support resources

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Group 2 will download an enhanced mobile app that will include education and support resources related to food allergy and its management, a symptom monitoring and tracking system that allows mobile app users to log symptoms they may experience as caregivers of children newly diagnosed with food allergy, e.g. fatigue and anxiety, and symptom based interventions (recommendations) that may improve a caregiver's ability to self-manage experienced symptoms.
