Presenter

Erin Schulz, MS

UX and Market Researcher
LaunchBox

For nearly 20 years, Erin Schulz has been a principal researcher at LaunchBox, a research firm in the Pacific Northwest. At LaunchBox, Erin works with clients in designing and conducting primary research (quantitative and qualitative). She has worked on a variety of projects, for example, those related to healthcare (including NIH grants), consumer technology, aerospace, and recreation. Prior to joining LaunchBox, she was a researcher at Intel, Microsoft, and Boeing with a focus on human-computer interaction and the user experience.

In her career as a researcher, it became increasingly clear that decision makers, as consumers of research, could benefit from a solid understanding of basic research methods. For over a decade, she had the pleasure of teaching research methods at the University of Washington Graduate School, department of Human Centered Design & Engineering. Erin is particularly interested in research methodology, specifically the role and interpretation of inferential statistics and distinctions between quantitative and qualitative methods.

She holds a BA in English and MS in Human Centered Design & Engineering from the University of Washington. Erin is also a former reviewer for the IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication with a focus on empirical studies.

    Series: Emerging Therapies for Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis in Children

    September 25, 2020 By Mike Siegel

    Moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis is associated with negative impacts on quality of life and health outcomes in all age groups, with the impact on children and families being uniquely severe. However, the rapid pace of drug development and uncertainty around novel medications may impact the shared decision-making process and lead to suboptimal treatment of many children. Thus, educating pediatric dermatologists and allergists is critical to positively affect treatment decisions and improve long-term outcomes. In addition, engaging experts in pediatric dermatology and allergy to consider what are the most important research issues in atopic dermatitis is important to direct future efforts. To address this need and help fill the gap left by canceled conferences in 2020, PeDRA is conducting a six-part educational series Emerging Therapies for Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis in Children.      

    Being hosted by distinguished faculty in pediatric dermatology and allergy/immunology, this non-CME program will include a total of six parts, including two webinars, two podcasts, and two virtual meetings/townhalls.
