This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Turkish adaptation of the Scale of Food Allergy Anxiety (SOFAA), including both the child-report and parent-report versions. The SOFAA is a validated tool originally developed to assess the specific anxiety related to food allergies. The Turkish versions of the scales will undergo a comprehensive validation process, including assessments of internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity.

Participants will include children diagnosed with IgE-mediated food allergies and their primary caregivers. The study will investigate whether the translated scales maintain the original structure and effectively measure food allergy-related anxiety in the Turkish pediatric population. The findings are expected to contribute to clinical assessment practices and research on food allergy-related psychosocial impacts in Turkeyy.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosed with IgE-mediated food allergy
• At least one parent/caregiver willing to participate
• Fluent in Turkish

Exclusion Criteria:

• Major neurodevelopmental or psychiatric disorders that impair ability to complete scales

Children aged 8-18 with food allergy and their parents, recruited from pediatric allergy outpatient clinics in Turkey.

Only aggregate results (e.g., internal consistency coefficients, summary statistics) will be shared. Individual participant data (IPD), even in de-identified form, will not be made publicly available. Access to data may be considered upon reasonable request and with appropriate ethical approvals.

Aggregate data will be available beginning 6 months after study completion and for a period of up to 5 years thereafter.

Researchers with a methodologically sound proposal may request access to the aggregated study data. Requests should be submitted to the principal investigator and will require appropriate ethical approval and a signed data-sharing agreement.
