Title of project:
Assessment of Depression in Mothers of Children with Atopic Dermatitis
Proposal summary:
The health impacts of caring for dependents with chronic diseases are increasingly being recognized. Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common chronic illnesses of children, therefore, we plan to use the ALSPAC cohort to understand whether caregiving for children with atopic dermatitis leads to depression in mothers and to identify those caregivers who might be at highest risk.
Impact of research:
A peer-reviewed scientific article; more generally increased awareness of caregiver burden, and support for caregivers
