This study involves treatment-related behaviors, symptom-related behavior, and behavior related to the impact of the illness. It also includes the parents’ confidence with managing child behavior in the context of atopic dermatitis management.
Using the Eczema Behavior Checklist eligible parents were allowed to complete anonymous online questionnaire to report their child’s behavior. There were some inclusion criteria that the parents had to have a child aged 3-10 years of age with a medical diagnosis of atopic dermatitis and were able to read and understand English.
