What is the study about?

We hope to better understand the burden of skin disorders in school-age children, and how these skin disorders affect a child’s personal and social perceptions. We want to study the relationship between the burden and how severe or visible the skin problem is.

Who is this study for?

This study will enroll children ages 8 to 17 years of age with chronic and highly visible skin conditions, as determined by the physician.

Both the child and participating parent must speak English and be able to complete questionnaires about the child’s skin condition, social experiences, and quality of life.

Status:

Data collection is underway
