In the past decade the rise in life-threatening allergic reactions to foods in young children has necessitated increased interaction among personnel in the psychosocial, medical, and educational arenas regarding the multifaceted aspects of this concerning problem. Schools and childcare facilities are vital venues for the continued growth and development of children outside the home. However, these facilities offer unique challenges to caring for the food-allergic child, requiring that the medical, educational, and caretaking communities work in unison to provide the safest environment for all children. Despite the potential obstacles, these settings offer a tremendous opportunity for the development and implementation of strategies to provide for proper identification of children at risk, to increase awareness and prevention, and for the provision of optimal treatment of food-related anaphylactic reactions occurring outside the home.
在过去十年中，幼儿发生危及生命的食物过敏反应的情况有所增加，这就需要心理社会、医学和教育领域的人员就这一令人担忧的问题的多方面进行更多互动。学校和儿童保育设施是儿童在家庭之外持续成长和发展的重要场所。然而，这些设施在照顾食物过敏儿童方面带来了独特的挑战，要求医疗、教育和护理社区协同工作，为所有儿童提供最安全的环境。尽管存在潜在障碍，但这些场所为制定和实施相关策略提供了巨大机会，以正确识别有风险的儿童，提高认识和预防能力，并为在家外发生的与食物相关的过敏反应提供最佳治疗。
