Food parenting practices (FPP) can have effects on children's eating behaviors. Over 8 million children in the US have food allergies, however, little is known about FPP for those who have children with food allergies. The objective of this study was to describe FPP among children with food allergies.
Recruited across the United States using ResearchMatch in February and March 2021, parents of children ages 5-12 years (n = 346; n = 77 with food allergies) completed a single, online survey which measured health history, demographics, and FPP. Linear regressions were used to examine associations between FPP of children with and without food allergies, and associations between food allergy factors and FPP.
Parents of children with food allergies reported greater use of limit exposure than parents of children without food allergies (B = 0.131; [CI], 0.021-0.293; P = 0.024), with no differences in other types of FPP.
Parents of children with food allergies reported more frequent structure-based FPP than parents of children without food allergies. More work is needed to explore mechanisms that promote positive food parenting among this population.
食物养育方式（FPP）会对儿童的饮食行为产生影响。美国有超过800万儿童患有食物过敏，但对于那些孩子患有食物过敏的家长的食物养育方式却知之甚少。本研究的目的是描述食物过敏儿童的食物养育方式。
2021年2月和3月通过ResearchMatch在美国各地招募了5至12岁儿童的家长（n = 346；n = 77名有食物过敏的儿童），他们完成了一项单一的在线调查，该调查测量了健康史、人口统计学和食物养育方式。采用线性回归来检验有食物过敏和无食物过敏儿童的食物养育方式之间的关联，以及食物过敏因素与食物养育方式之间的关联。
有食物过敏儿童的家长报告比无食物过敏儿童的家长更多地使用限制接触（B = 0.131；[CI]，0.021 - 0.293；P = 0.024），其他类型的食物养育方式没有差异。
有食物过敏儿童的家长报告比无食物过敏儿童的家长更频繁地采用基于结构的食物养育方式。需要开展更多工作来探索促进该人群积极食物养育的机制。
