Developing recommendations for promoting wellbeing in individuals with alopecia areata: a modified Delphi study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Develop recommendations for multidisciplinary, multisector care providers involved in supporting individuals with alopecia areata (AA) to promote their well-being of these individuals. AA is a condition that causes hair loss on the scalp and, for some, the head or whole body and is associated with difficulties in psychosocial adjustment.

Design

A modified Delphi consensus study with three rounds: round 1 was a qualitative survey to generate recommendations; round 2 involved a rating survey to work towards consensus on important items to retain and round 3 asked panellists from four different support roles to establish the most relevant items for their respective roles.

Setting

The UK, across healthcare, charitable and private health and mental health sector
