Conclusions Peanut and/or tree nut allergy and a history of anaphylaxis are associated with a significantly higher likelihood of receiving epinephrine autoinjector prescriptions from pediatricians. Since pediatricians play a vital role in managing children with food allergies, further education must be provided to ensure that all children with food allergy are adequately prepared to treat any allergic reactions that may occur.
