Global Parents fore Eczema Research (GPER) was formed by two parents of children with eczema in 2015. Both parents had separately struggled with finding evidence-based information to guide medical decisions and a lack of safe, long-term treatment options to manage the chronic condition. At that time, there had been no significant new treatments developed for children with eczema in decades. GPER formed around the need for research to support evidence-based medical decision making on behalf of children with eczema and to create more urgency around the need for better treatments. Created for and by parents of children with moderate to severe eczema, GPER is a virtual organization with members representing five different continents and 17 countries.
