Cross-sectional survey highlights patient concerns about climate change's impact on atopic dermatitis, indicating a need for better education.
UNSTRUCTURED This cross-sectional survey study (63.5% response rate) characterized how patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) perceive and experience the effects of climate change on their AD. Most participants reported that environmental factors such as heat and air pollution worsened their AD and expressed a desire for climate-health education, yet few had discussed these concerns with their dermatologist. These findings reveal a gap in patient-centered dermatologic care and support the development of tools to integrate environmental health into atopic dermatitis management.
