Eczema Research in Newborns - participants wanted

Are you pregnant? Does someone in your immediate family have (or had in the past) eczema, asthma or hay-fever? Then you may be eligible to take part in the NHS-funded BEEP (Barrier Enhancement for Eczema Prevention) study to look at preventing eczema in newborn babies.

Fifty families have already taken up the study but the University of Nottingham Dermatology Department is looking for more participants.

You can download more information from the NCT website or www.beeptudy.org
