- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method change in family quality of life 3 month follow-up family quality of life as measured by the DFI (Dermatitis Family Impact Questionnaire), 0-30 scale with higher score reflecting worse quality of life

Those can be totaled to determine percentage correct.
