TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Bullying risk in students with food allergy: schoolteachers' awareness JO - Pediatric allergy and immunology A1 - Polloni, Laura A1 - Gini, Gianluca A1 - Fiore, Giorgia A1 - Lazzarotto, Francesca A1 - Bonaguro, Roberta A1 - Toniolo, Alice A1 - Celegato, Nicolò A1 - Muraro, Antonella SP - 225 EP - 226 VL - 27 IS - 2 N2 - Bullying is demonstrated to be a critical issue related to food allergy (FA) in children and adolescents. We recently investigated bullying victimization in a sample of food-allergic Italian students matched to healthy controls, finding that food-allergic schoolchildren have a probability of being bullied approximately 2 times higher than healthy peers. 60% of them reported they were victims of some form of bullying at least once in the last 2 months, demonstrating that food-allergic patients should be included in the category of students at high risk of bullying.
