Does your state require #childcare facilities have appropriate standards in place to care for #children w/ #foodallergy? Take a look at this report to find out. Also learn ways to advocate for necessary change in your state. #ElijahsLaw

It is our hope that with this report, advocates, legislators (lawmakers), and other leaders will better understand state-level gaps in child care protections and take necessary measures to advocate for Elijah’s Law across the country.

“Food allergies are truly a unique disease in that we do at times need help from others to stay safe.” I would also encourage those in entertainment industry to do better job of accurately depicting living w/ #foodallergy & #anaphylaxis.

Robertson: Why should allergists worry about sleep?
-Our patients with allergy disorders (eczema, hives, etc) have disordered sleep
-35-40% Americans do not get the recommended 7-8 hours of sleep per night. 15% report less than 6 hours per night.

's final thoughts: "Think like a patient" to understand them better, proactively ask patient about common areas of misinformation, and discuss the evidence (but don't dumb down the science for patients) #ACAAI21

: Shared decision-making is a useful approach with #foodallergy patients. Explore w/patients evidence, understanding of risk evaluation, what impacts their decisions, and where they find info impacting decision-making. #ACAAI21

Healthcare (& behavioral healthcare) providers can help patients best by knowing how patients gain information, anticipating Qs/concerns, and being prepared to address them. Ask permission to and make discussing the hard/complex topics part of every encounter w/patients #ACAAI21
