Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI)

    The Eczema Area and Severity Index is used to document extent and severity of atopic dermatitis on child's skin at the beginning of the study and again at the follow-up visit. The purpose is to determine improvement or lack of improvement following teaching intervention by nurses in the dermatology clinic.

    EASI administered by blinded investigator at the initial visit, prior to teaching intervention; EASI again administered by same blinded investigator at visit 2 (at 4 weeks).

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Caregiver Questionnaire

    Visit 2 (or Week 4 visit)

Study Arms (2)

Physician/resident instruction

NO INTERVENTION

This arm is standard of care instruction given to parents/caregivers of children with atopic dermatitis by the dermatologist and/or dermatology resident during a patient visit.

Nurse instruction

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Following the usual standard of care instruction by physician/resident (which both the treatment group and the non-treatment group will receive); the dermatology nurse will give enhanced instruction about skin care and medications to the caregivers/parents who were randomized to the treatment group.

Behavioral: Nurse instruction

Interventions

The dermatology nurse will give additional verbal and written instruction utilizing "teach-back" about skin care precautions and medication usage to the caregivers/parents in the "treatment" group.
