Developing a Public Health Agenda for Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis: Phase II
The Arthritis, Epilepsy, and Quality of Life (AEQOL) Branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Division of Adult and Community Health (DACH) relies in part on expert opinions in order to frame the public health agenda for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The key is to quickly identify the appropriate experts, and collect their input efficiently. At the same time, AEQOL needs to know what has been presented in key peer reviewed publications. Under this contract, SciMetrika provides logistical support to AEQOL as the branch meets with experts in the fields of dermatology and rheumatology to develop a public health agenda for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. SciMetrika is also conducting a literature review.
