Background: Characterization of fatal and nonfatal reactions to food indicates that the majority of reactions are due to the ingestion of prepared foods rather than the nonprocessed allergen. In an ongoing study that used a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge to investigate peanut allergy and clinical symptoms, the observed reaction severity in four of the first six subjects was greater than anticipated. We hypothesized that this was due to differences in the composition of the challenge vehicle. Objective: The aim was to investigate whether the severity of observed challenge reactions would be repeated on rechallenge with a lower fat challenge vehicle. …

Objective
To explore potential predictors of adolescent fruit and vegetable intake by expanding on current theory and drawing from other adolescent research.
Design
This research reports on the baseline and interim data from a school-based intervention study. Data were collected through surveys administered to students at the beginning and end of their 7th-grade year.
Setting
The students attended 16 public schools in Minnesota.
Participants
Data were collected on 3878 students; approximately half were female and 67% were white. All students in the 7th-grade cohort were invited to participate in the surveys and over 94% completed both surveys.
