Summary

Forgetting is usually listed as the most important cause of low adherence among patients. Most studies to date have looked at the adherence of adults or adolescent population. No studies have been done looking specifically at adherence to topical treatment by parents/caregivers of young children. Our project will try to replicate the same results among the parents/caregivers responsible for children ten years and under. The population in this study will be the parents/caregivers of children 10 and under with atopic dermatitis and the intervention will be the effect of electronic reminders in adherence rates for the use of a moisturizer which is recognized as part of the standard of care in the treatment of atopic dermatitis.
