Factors influencing adherence in a trial of early introduction of allergenic food

The Enquiring About Tolerance (EAT) study examined whether the early introduction of 6 allergenic foods from 3  months of age in exclusively breastfed infants prevented the development of food allergy. The intervention was effective in the per-protocol analysis for allergy to 1 or more foods and for egg and peanut individually, but only 42% of early introduction group (EIG) children met the per-protocol cri teria.
