Abstract

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Childhood food allergy (FA) is a chronic condition that can profoundly impact patient and caregiver quality of life (QoL). Risk factors for impaired FA-related QoL remain largely unknown. This study aims to estimate latent profiles of caregiver attitudes and behaviors, and examine if group membership correlates with established QoL outcomes. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This project is subsumed under the FORWARD study (5R01AI130348-04), a multisite longitudinal cohort study conducted at four major pediatric medical centers. Eligible participants include caregivers of children ages 12 years and under who identify as Black or White and have at least one physician-diagnosed FA. Participants complete intake surveys, annual clinical visits, and quarterly surveys administered via REDCap. As of November 2022, 413 Non-Hispanic Black and 486 Non-Hispanic White participants were enrolled. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We anticipate that specific latent profiles will emerge based on caregiver-reported attitudes and behaviors. We predict these profiles will demonstrate configural, metric, and scalar invariance across key sociodemographic strata (e.g., child race/ethnicity, household income, caregiver educational attainment, and child sex). Relatedly, we anticipate that sociodemographic factors, such as race, sex, ethnicity, parental education, and income, will significantly predict group membership. Finally, we predict that latent profile membership will be associated with…

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design.
