About this trial

This is an interventional other trial for Atopic Dermatitis

Eligibility Criteria

0 Years - 17 Years (Child)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Affected children must have moderate to severe AD or another skin condition that causes itch, experience itch, understand English, and be able to complete an English-based survey
  • Any child with a potentially disfiguring skin condition or change in appearance related to disease/intervention will be considered eligible. Parents of children with such conditions will also be asked to participate. Children and parents must also understand English and be able to complete an English-based survey

Sub-study Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients ages 8 years-17 years with a diagnosis of mild AD
  2. Patients ages 6 months to 8 years with a diagnosis of AD (any severity)
  3. English speaking
  4. Families must be able to access the internet (e.g., Skype or Facetime) for follow-up, or be able to come for follow-up within five days of an AD flare and again when improved.
  5. Patients with developmental delay and/or a behavioral disorder that would preclude participation in form completion will not be eligible for this study.

Validation Questionnaire and Interview-Mild

Arm Description

Up to 30 dyads of patients ages 8-17 and their parents/caregivers, as well as up to 20 parents of children ages 6mo-7 years, will participate in semi-structured interviews to evaluate the new and modified items (questions) written for the PIQ-C questionnaire

To assess stigma, up to 20 children ages 8-17 and 20 parents of children ages 5-12, will participate in semi-structured interviews to evaluate the modified Neuro-QoL stigma questionnaire. This questionnaire includes new skin-specific stigma items and existing items modified for use with children having a skin or other condition that may negatively affect their appearance

For validation, up to 200 parent/child dyads ages 5-17 with a diagnosis of moderate to severe AD during the previous 6 months will participate in teledermatology or in-person semi-structured interviews as follow-up to validate PRO measures in a large cohort of itch-specific pediatric skin conditions, specifically AD. Furthermore, this portion of the study will validate generic PROMIS measures of AD subjects' environmental stressors, illness flares, socio-demographic differences based on race/ethnicity and family income status.

For validation, up to 90 parent/child dyads ages 0-17 with a diagnosis of mild AD will participate in teledermatology or in-person semi-structured interviews as follow-up to validate PRO measures in a large cohort of itch-specific pediatric skin conditions, specifically AD. Furthermore, this portion of the study will validate generic PROMIS measures of AD subjects' environmental stressors, illness flares, socio-demographic differences based on race/ethnicity and family income status for mild patients.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Analysis and Coding of Itch & Stigma questionnaire Responses
Validation of PROMIS Pediatric Instruments
This study results in the validation of the ability of PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information Systems) instruments to detect significant change in disease status, to create a pediatric itch item pool and patient-reported outcomes (PRO) model for signs and symptoms of skin disease, specifically AD, in children of ages 6 months to 17 years. Through the research study to validate PROMIS, the physicians will derive an effective system which optimally and efficiently measures pain, depressive symptoms, anxiety, physical function-mobility, fatigue, peer relationships, psychological stress experiences, stigma, and new itch-specific measures in children ages 5-17 who suffer with moderate to severe AD and children ages 0-17 who suffer from mild AD. By validating PROMIS, physicians and patients can decipher specific environmental stressors and illness flares that are clinically significant in the disease status.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is designated to validate patient-reported outcomes (PRO) measures in itch-specific pediatric skin conditions, such as atopic dermatitis, and examine the ability of a modified stigma instrument to assess the severity and type of stigma experienced in atopic dermatitis and other potentially stigmatizing conditions.
Detailed Description
This study involves a series of research and development projects targeted at two of the most common chronic diseases affecting children: asthma and atopic dermatitis (AD, or eczema). The Investigators propose to directly validate patient-reported outcomes (PRO) measures in a large cohort of itch-specific pediatric skin conditions, with a primary focus on AD. The Investigators propose to examine the ability of PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information Systems) instruments to detect meaningful and clinically significant change in disease status, as well as to create a pediatric itch item pool and PRO model for signs and symptoms of skin disease. The Investigators will also examine the ability of a modified Neuro-QOL stigma instrument to assess the severity and type of stigma experienced in AD and across various dermatologic or other potentially stigmatizing conditions. Lurie Children's Hospital will only be involved in the AD and stigma portions of this project
