Abstract
People with food allergies often experience anxiety related to managing their condition. This study will use the Health Anxiety Inventory and Patient Self-Advocacy Scale to determine 1) if individuals with food allergies have higher levels of health anxiety and 2) if better self-advocacy skills in medical settings decreases health anxiety.
