Report on the Psycho-Social Impacts of Psoriasis Summary

National Psoriasis Foundation Report on the Psycho-Social Impacts of Psoriasis Summary

This report is the culmination of the largest longitudinal study to date of the psycho-social impacts of psoriasis on individuals.

Over a period of six years, the National Psoriasis Foundation collected responses to questions about the emotional and social effects of psoriatic diseases from nearly 5,000 people with
psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis.

The results of this study highlight sharp differences in the negative impact psoriasis has on various populations including women, minorities and young people. The National Psoriasis Foundation will use this information to design and deliver programs and services that continue to assist these populations in coping with and managing their condition.
