Testing the Toolkits

We currently developing online toolkits to help people and families get control and keep control of eczema. Once the toolkits are developed we plan to test whether or not they make a difference to people’s eczema. We plan to do this in two clinical trials with 468 people from GP practices and eczema clinics in Southampton, Nottingham, and Bristol.  

People taking part will be in the clinical trial for 12 months and they will be randomly put into one of two groups. One group will have access to the toolkit alongside their usual care, and the second group will continue to receive their usual care and then get access to the toolkit at the end of the study. Having these two groups are essential for being able to tell if the toolkit made a difference to people’s eczema or not.
