Study on Mental Health and Eczema

In 2022, the research team at the National Eczema Association (NEA) conducted an online survey to understand patient and caregiver experiences with, and expectations of, mental healthcare as it relates to eczema. The survey aimed to determine the impact of mental health and access to mental healthcare for adult atopic dermatitis patients and caregivers in the United States.
