Public attitudes and stigma toward visible skin conditions
Official title: Evaluation of Stigma Toward Patients With Alopecia Areata, Atopic Dermatitis, Vitiligo, and Psoriasis
Status: Recruiting now
Description:
Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS plans to enroll about 400 participants. This is an observational study, so researchers will not assign an experimental treatment. Researchers are studying public attitudes and stigma toward people with vitiligo and three other skin conditions. Participants may complete exams, questionnaires, record reviews, imaging, or sample collection; no drug-related side effects are expected unless they are already receiving routine treatment. People age 18 and older may qualify. The study is recruiting at one listed site in Italy.
