Got this from The Check My Tag Blog and thought I could help spread the word, in case there are some of you who might want to participate. The online survey calls for mothers of food allergic children between the ages of 6 and 13.

The online survey aims to "examine how parents feel about their children's physical health, and how their children's health relates to parenting, and to feelings of worry and stress." It will take you about an hour to complete the questionnaire (you may exit and resume as you please, as long as your computer is cookies-enabled), which may include questions on:

• your attitudes, mood and stress in relation to parenting


• your child's allergies


• your child's relationship with you (the child has to accomplish part of the survey if the child is at least 9 yrs old

There will be no direct benefit to you, but you get to participate in a study that addresses issues regarding the psychological stress parents with food allergic children go through. It's free, and for your efforts, "you will receive reimbursement of $20 in gift cards to a natural food market".
If you're a mother of a food allergic child aged 6-13, please do participate in the online survey.
