Exploring Young Adults' Experiences of Atopic Dermatitis Self‐Management and Use of Community Pharmacy: A Qualitative Study
Lived experiences have been central to the development and design of this study. Listening to a family member's experiences of AD inspired the lead author to research young adults' AD management. The data collection process was informed by two people with AD whose advice was sought on how best to approach the topic with young adults and on the topic guide. Changes to wording were made in response to the comments from the two people with AD. Further, after each interview, each young adult participant was asked to give their feedback on the interview guide and how it could be further improved. All participants were happy with the questions and one participant suggested an additional question that had not been included in the topic guide previously. To help the interpretation of study findings informal discussions were conducted with young adults with and without AD. These young adults were not study participants.
