Welcome to the

Kids in Control Research Study

Our aim is to help children take control of their eczema by increasing their understanding of this condition, awareness of their scratching behaviour and supporting a change in behaviour to help reduce itchy skin.

We would like to invite you to take part in our research study called 'Kids in Control'.

What?

The aim of this study is to develop online support material to help reduce scratching in children with eczema.

We would like to talk to children with eczema of all severities aged 8-12 years, who feel that scratching is a problem for them, and their parents/carers to ask for their feedback on our online material.

This will help us improve it and make it ideal for this age group. If you choose to participate, you and your child will be invited to do an online think-aloud interview and /or a virtual focus group with 2-5 other children and their parents or carers.

Who?

The study is organised by researchers at King's College London, St John's Institute of Dermatology at St Thomas' Hospital.

Funded by UKDCTN

The study is funded by UK Dermatology Clinical Trials Network.

You and your child can take part if:

  • 1. Your child has eczema
  • 2. Is 8-12 years old
  • 3. Has itchy skin and often scratches
  • 4. Has good access to the internet
  • 5. Lives in the UK
