Study: Vitiligo & COVID
We would like to invite you and your partner, friend, or family member (without vitiligo) to participate in a questionnaire study into the influence of coronavirus on vitiligo.
The research is being conducted by the Netherlands Institute for Pigment Disorders of the Amsterdam UMC. Researchers investigate the chance that people with vitiligo will get corona, how corona develops in vitiligo patients and whether corona influences vitiligo activity. The results of this research can be presented at medical meetings and in medical publications, also anonymously.
The questionnaire takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Your data will be treated confidentially and processed anonymously. This means that the collected data cannot be traced back to you.
