Measure
Crisaborole 2%
Adult caregivers of children participants will be asked to apply a thin even-layer of Crisaborole (2%) twice daily for 2 weeks. Crisaborole 2%: The adult caregiver will apply a thin layer of Crisaborole 2% topically on their child participant twice a day for 2 weeks. Accelerometry device for children: Children participants will wear two wrist worn (or wrist worn AND ankle worn for 3 months up to \<2 years) accelerometry devices. Devices will be optional for child participants who have active AD on location of device placement, with a minimum of at least one wrist device needed for enrollment. Accelerometry device for adult caregivers: Adult caregiver participants will wear two accelerometry devices (one on each wrist) and complete daily assessments related to scratching, sleeping habits, pain, AD severity, quality of life, and device comfort questionnaires.
Vehicle Arm
Adult caregivers of children participants will be asked to apply a thin even-layer of vehicle treatment twice daily for 2 weeks. Vehicle treatment: The adult caregiver will apply a thin layer of the vehicle treatment topically on their child participant twice a day for 2 weeks. The vehicle treatment is made of excipients of crisaborole ointment (non-medicated ointment). Accelerometry device for children: Children participants will wear two wrist worn (or wrist worn AND ankle worn for 3 months up to \<2 years) accelerometry devices. Devices will be optional for child participants who have active AD on location of device placement, with a minimum of at least one wrist device needed for enrollment. Accelerometry device for adult caregivers: Adult caregiver participants will wear two accelerometry devices (one on each wrist) and complete daily assessments related to scratching, sleeping habits, pain, AD severity, quality of life, and device comfort questionnaires.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 weeks

Population: 1 participant from each group withdrew after visit 1, thus no at home data was collected.

Adult caregivers will fill out the Observer Reported Itch Assessment (ORIA) which is a single question assessment to assess the severity of the child participant's itch. The minimum score of "0" indicates "no itch" and the maximum score of "10" indicates "worst itch imaginable."
