Quantification of the Socio-economic Multifacet Burden of Alopecia Areata and Identification of the Associated Factors

UnknownN/A

Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse

Conditions: Alopecia Areata

Countries: France

Alopecia areata (AA) is a complex autoimmune disorder with an estimated lifetime risk of 1.7% where both genetic pre-disposition and environmental factors contribute. It typically presents with sharply demarcated round patches of non-scarring hair loss that may present at any age. Many patients with AA are dissatisfied with current medical treatments and use alternative therapies and cosmetics. This study will generate new data on the current situation of psychosocial and financial burden of AA. It will help to identify unmet needs and to understand the disease issues. It will also be the basis for the planification of future supporting measures.
