Abstract
Children with food allergies are a growing segment of the population who report high rates of bullying victimization. Yet, little is known about how bullying victimization experiences affect this population. Using data collected from an online survey administered to parents of children with food allergies (N = 621), this study examines if higher levels of food allergy severity are related to having higher odds of experiencing various harms from bullying victimization. Findings show that, according to parents, children with more severe food allergies have increased odds of experiencing emotional harms, social harms, psychological harms, and missed school from bullying victimization. Policy implications are discussed, such as allocating resources to build the emotional, social, and psychological resiliency among children with more severe food allergy conditions, as well as providing counseling services to food-allergic children and their families.
