Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
change in eczema severity	3 month follow-up	eczema severity as measured by the Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (0-28 range, higher score=worse eczema severity)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
change in infant quality of life	3 month follow-up	infant quality of life as measured by the IDQOL (Infant's Dermatitis Quality of Life Index), uses a 0-30 scale, with a higher number reflecting worse quality of life. Used for children \<4 years of age.
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
change in caregiver knowledge	3 month follow-up	change in caregiver knowledge pre-post as assessed by a questionnaire. This is not a standardized tool, but rather a series of 22 questions about caregiver comfort and understanding of eczema. Some responses use a likert scale format, while others are multiple choice questions. There are 8 multiple choice questions, each of which has one right answer. Those can be totaled to determine percentage correct.
change in child quality of life	3 month follow-up	child quality of life as measured by the CDLQI (Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index), uses a 0-30 scale, with a higher number reflecting worse quality of life. Used for children age 4-16.
