195 The burden of childhood atopic dermatitis in U.S. primary care settings

Little is known about the atopic dermatitis (AD) burden encountered in primary care practices and the frequency and type of skin care practices used on children in U.S. communities. We measured the prevalence of parent-reported childhood AD in 10 primary care practices located in Oregon, Iowa, Wisconsin, Colorado and North Carolina using a convenience sample of children 0-5 years old. To better understand current skin care practices among the general pediatric population, we surveyed parents regarding current skin care used on their children.
