Do you ever wonder what experiences other families who are living with EoE have when navigating their way through the healthcare system in Australia? How much is EoE impacting the lives of children with EoE and their parents/carers? This session is presenting the findings of a survey completed by 181 parents and carers of children with EoE in Australia. This study provides the first known research into complementary medicine use, treatment burden, and impact on health-related quality of life for children with EoE and their carers in Australia.
