Conditions: Atopic Dermatitis - Atopic Eczema - Infantile Eczema - Hand Eczema
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of video-based patient education with written instruction on subjects' knowledge of atopic dermatitis and their disease severity, measured by the Patient-oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), after viewing the educational materials.
Study summary: We plan to conduct a randomized, controlled trial comparing the effect of video-based patient education with written instruction on subjects' understanding of atopic dermatitis and their disease severity. Subjects randomized to the video-based education arm will be instructed to watch a video on the classifications, aggravating factors, and treatment of atopic dermatitis. Subjects randomized to the written education arm will receive written information on the classifications, aggravating factors, and treatment of atopic dermatitis. The contents of the video and the written educational materials will be comparable. At the end of the study period, 3 months later, subjects will be interviewed regarding their comprehension and attitude towards video-based and written education materials. Additionally, we will use the Patient-oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) questionnaire to assess the difference in subjects' disease severity between the 2 arms.
Criteria: Inclusion Criteria: - 18 years of age or older at time of consent, may be men or women. - Able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements. - Capable of giving informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: - Non-English speaking individuals.
