In 2024, the research team at the National Eczema Association (NEA) conducted an online survey to learn more about the transition of eczema care from childhood to adulthood.

When a child grows up with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, their parents or caregivers help them manage their eczema treatment on a daily basis. As a child grows up and hits their teen years, this all shifts and they gradually become more in control of their daily eczema management and treatment. Through this survey, NEA hopes to gain a better understanding of this transition of eczema care to provide better resources and support for the entire eczema community.
