Clinicians are trying to align care with individual patient needs for the approximately eight million American adults and over 125 million people worldwide living with psoriasis.1 In the ENCOMPASS study’s US arm, researchers examined treatment experiences, satisfaction, and perceptions of therapies through quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews.2 Dr. Mona Shahriari sits down with Dr. Linda Stein Gold and Dr. Jennifer Soung to share their key findings from this dataset and their implications for providing patient-centered care in psoriasis. Dr. Shahriari is an Associate Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, and she serves as the Associate Director of Clinical Trials and co-founder of Central Connecticut Dermatology.
