Despite the expanding therapeutic options, there is no existing decision aid to guide patients, families, and clinicians through treatment options.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>Our objective was to develop an evidence-based decision aid that would be widely accepted for shared decision-making in pediatric atopic dermatitis.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Per rigorous International Patient Decision Aid Standards, the following steps were taken: (1) literature review; (2) focus groups with patients and caregivers; (3) expert interviews; (4) prototype creation, revision, and pilot testing in the clinic; and (5) further in-clinic testing.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Six focus groups provided insight into patient/parent preferences (n = 32) regarding treatment experiences and preferences. Nine expert interviews revealed implementation strategies for shared decision-making, eliciting themes of communication, patient education, challenges to and supports for treatment adherence, useful materials/resources, and other strategies for success. Using content from literature review, patient/parent focus groups, and expert interviews, a draft decision aid was systematically created. Cognitive interviews (n = 10) with patients/parents resulted in tool refinement. In-clinic testing demonstrated that the tool was helpful; an average ± standard deviation score was 7.8 ± 1.7 (0-10 scale, n = 18).

Treatment response was assessed using the 5-item Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-5), oral corticosteroid (OCS) dose, exacerbation frequency, and postbronchodilator FEV<sub>1</sub>. Clinical remission, assessed at 12 months, was defined as an ACQ-5 score less than or equal to 1.0 at 12 months, no exacerbations in the previous 6 months, and no OCS use for asthma in the previous 6 months.

Seventy-eight (30.6%) participants achieved clinical remission at 12 months.
