Background: There is a need to improve the quality of communication between clinicians and parents of young patients with atopic eczema (AE).
Objective: To create a tool to measure the suffering that caregivers experience in association with their child's AE (Caregiver Pictorial Representation of Illness and Self-Measure, Caregiver-PRISM), assess the validity and reliability, and identify factors associated with caregiver suffering.
