The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) conducts and promotes patient-centered research to help you. This means your beliefs, preferences and needs are at the center of our research. Your input drives our advocacy work, guides our education programs and supports our community. Recently, we’ve studied the following topics:
- Symptoms of anaphylaxis in infants and toddlers
- Eczema burdens and people’s experiences with treatments
- Impact of COVID-19 on people with asthma and allergy
- Air travel with asthma and allergies
- Quality-of-life issues for people with food allergy
- Patient journey with nasal polyps and chronic hives (urticaria)
We also match patients and researchers as partners in research studies. Our patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) involves patients and families in every step of the process. This leads to more successful and valuable outcomes. There are many ways you can help us lead asthma and allergy research:
- Take our surveys or participate in focus groups
- Become a member of a research project team
- Become a member of our Patient and Family Advisory Council
- Take part in a research trial
