I am copying the image and wording directly from the CDC's website. Households were randomly selected and asked the following question: "During the past 12 months, has [child] had eczema or any kind of skin allergy?" The graphed results are below. The prevalence of eczema or skin allergies has nearly doubled in the 3 ethnic groups interviewed: black, Hispanic and white.
"From 2000 to 2010, the prevalence of eczema or any kind of skin allergy increased among non-Hispanic black, non-Hispanic white, and Hispanic children in the United States. The prevalence of eczema or skin allergy increased from 8.6% to 17.1% among non-Hispanic black children, from 5.0% to 9.9% among Hispanic children, and from 7.6% to 12.6% among non-Hispanic white children."
