Detailed Description:
We plan to conduct a randomized, controlled trial comparing the effect of video-based patient education with written instruction on subjects' understanding of atopic dermatitis and their disease severity.
Subjects randomized to the video-based education arm will be instructed to watch a video on the classifications, aggravating factors, and treatment of atopic dermatitis. Subjects randomized to the written education arm will receive written information on the classifications, aggravating factors, and treatment of atopic dermatitis. The contents of the video and the written educational materials will be comparable.
At the end of the study period, 3 months later, subjects will be interviewed regarding their comprehension and attitude towards video-based and written education materials. Additionally, we will use the Patient-oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) questionnaire to assess the difference in subjects' disease severity between the 2 arms.
