Overview / Abstract: |
Statement of Need Atopic dermatitis (AD), a severe form of eczema and intense pruritus, is associated with a substantial and multifaceted patient-reported burden that encompasses sleep disturbances, anxiety, depression, reduced function/productivity, and impaired quality of life. The incidence of AD is high, estimated to be approximately 15%-20% in children and 1%-3% in adults worldwide (Yong & Tay, 2017). Population studies within the United States have shown that AD disproportionately affects Black Americans compared with other ethnic groups (Brunner & Guttman-Yassky, 2019). Black Americans are more likely to experience severe disease and less favorable treatment outcomes (Kaufman et al, 2019). In this activity, Dr. Shawn Kwatra and Dr. Linda Stein Gold will direct thoughtful consideration of the health care disparities faced by Black patients with AD, best practices in diagnosis and assessment, and the applicability of novel therapeutic approaches for moderate-to-severe disease. Target Audience Dermatologists, primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, nurses, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). LEARNING OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to: |
