Minor changes to the wording were made for the adolescent survey to apply to a caregiver’s perspective; all differences in wording are shown in square brackets.

Participants could select responses from a prespecified list of orally administered corticosteroid medications. Categories were not mutually exclusive.

Other corticosteroid medications included beclomethasone nasal or oral inhaler (adolescents, n=2; adults, n=0), flunisolide nasal or oral inhaler (adolescents, n=1; adults, n=1), mometasone oral inhaler (adolescents, n=0; adults, n=2), and triamcinolone acetonide (adolescents, n=0; adults, n=2).

EoE indicates eosinophilic esophagitis.
