Series: Emerging Mechanisms of Action in the Treatment of Moderate-to-Severe Alopecia Areata in Children

May 25, 2021 By Jenn Dawson

Series: Emerging Mechanisms of Action in the Treatment of Moderate-to-Severe Alopecia Areata in Children

Moderate-to-severe alopecia areata (AA) is associated with negative impacts on quality of life and health outcomes in all age groups. However, the impact on children living with this disease and their families is uniquely severe. Children and their families face the daily burden of chronic disease, exacerbated by bullying and the impact on parental mental health that is particularly severe for a disease with such noticeable manifestations. Recent advances in our understanding of the pathobiology underlying AA have contributed to a promising pipeline of therapeutic options for patients in the near future. Yet, apprehension remains over the consequences of systemic treatment of AA, which is all the more significant in the pediatric population. To address the need for better awareness and understanding of AA, and provide a greater depth of knowledge in the mechanisms underlying emerging treatment options for AA, PeDRA is conducting a six-part educational series Emerging Mechanisms of Action in the Treatment of Moderate-to-Severe Alopecia Areata in Children.      

Being hosted by distinguished faculty in pediatric dermatology this non-CME program will include a total of six parts, including three webinars, and three podcasts.
