TARGET AUDIENCE
STATEMENT OF NEED/PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Atopic dermatitis (AD), or eczema, is a complex, chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disease marked by pruritus and skin irritation. Current prevalence is estimated to be 15%–30% among children and 2%–10% among adults, although its prevalence in adults may be underestimated. Dysregulation of both the innate and adaptive immune systems are believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of AD and the condition is frequently accompanied by other allergic disorders including food allergy, allergic rhinitis, and asthma. Recent studies have documented the adverse effects of AD on mental health and quality of life and new evidence suggests a relationship between AD and other chronic, nonallergic conditions including obesity, cardiovascular disease, autoimmunity, and malignancies. This activity is focused on AD diagnosis and treatment, impact of emerging therapies, adherence to therapy, and practical approaches for specialty pharmacists to implement and improve outcomes for patients with AD.
