It is uniquely and strongly associated with an individual or family history of asthma, hay fever, food allergy and\/or other allergic diseases. The most common form of eczema, AD leads to significant emotional burden in addition to pain, physical discomfort and sleep disturbance for 16.5 million adults in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>There is no cure for AD, and many people have troubling controlling it. While there are many medical and non-medical treatments used to manage AD, they are not all effective. The treatments can be inconvenient and may cause toxic side effects. As a result, many with AD fail to seek and comply with medical treatment.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code admin_label=&#8221;Print&#8221; module_id=&#8221;print&#8221; module_class=&#8221;clearfix&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_module=&#8221;5156&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<a href=\"https:\/\/aafa.org\/asthma-allergy-research\/our-research\/atopic-dermatitis-in-america\/print\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Print post\"><svg class=\"WP-PrintIcon wp-print-icon\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewbox=\"0 0 20 20\" fill=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M6 2h8v4H6z\" \/><path d=\"M3 7h14v7h-3v-3H6v3H3z\" \/><path d=\"M6 12h8v6H6z\" \/><\/svg> Print post<\/a> [\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;6%||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/aafa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-11-16-at-5.55.58-PM.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;Asthma Disparities Report&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Screen Shot 2022-11-16 at 5.55.58 PM&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/issuu.com\/aafa.org\/docs\/atopic-dermatitis-in-america-study-overview&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;AD in America Report Image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||1%||false|false&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset3&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/issuu.com\/aafa.org\/docs\/atopic-dermatitis-in-america-study-overview&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;View Full Report&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;View Full Report Button&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#28BDBA&#8221; button_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; button_use_icon=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;width:100%;&#8221; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Racial Justice Blurb&#8221; module_class=&#8221;sidebar-blurb&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#505050&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|600||on|||||&#8221; link_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#692d87&#8243; link_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_4_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#008c99&#8243; header_4_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/aafa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/teal_scribble.png&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;8%||8%||true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;2%||2%||true|false&#8221; global_module=&#8221;4735&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>AAFA&#8217;s Commitment to Racial Justice<\/h4>\n<p>Over the past 15 years, there have been moderate advances in U.S. public policy, health care and research, but racial gaps in asthma outcomes have not changed.
