Summary

Patients with atopic dermatitis and eczema often struggle with habitual scratching that is not well-controlled even with optimal medical therapy. Our goal is to create a behavioral intervention to help children with eczema reduce scratching. The investigators hope that the intervention will improve clinical outcomes and quality of life, as well as provide an easily implemented way for clinicians to educate patients and parents about behavioral modification techniques.

Self help intervention

For participants randomized to receive the treatment, the self-help intervention will be briefly described by a member of the clinical staff, and a brief pamphlet will be distributed to the parent or guardian at the end of the visit. The pamphlet describes behavioral strategies for coping with and reducing scratching behaviors. Participants randomly selected to not receive the treatment will not receive the pamphlet at the end of the visit.
