Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with several comorbidities, including mental health (MH) conditions among children. We conducted a survey study of caregivers of pediatric AD patients (aged 8-17) (n = 163) and collected information about their child's MH symptoms and their experience seeking MH services for their child. Nearly half of caregivers reported their child had 6 or more days of poor MH symptoms in the past month and reported that barriers to accessing MH services were MH provider inaccessibility (27.0%), distance and transportation (23.3%), and insurance obstacles (19.0%). Given the substantial burden of AD on pediatric patients and the accessibility barriers elucidated in this survey study, engagement of both eczema and MH providers is essential to recognize MH burden among patients and overcome access barriers.
