Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Acne vulgaris is a common problem in the adolescent community. Past research has shown that acne affects teenager's self-esteem and mood. However, no research has evaluated the parent perception of their teenager's acne in comparison to the severity of acne and the patient's own reported quality of life. It is hypothesized that parents of teenagers underestimate how much acne vulgaris affects their teenager's skin disease-related quality of life. Also that teenager's perception of the severity of their acne is greater versus their parent's perception. We believe that increased acne severity based on clinician assessment will correlate with worse quality of life. Teenagers between 12 and 17 years old with a diagnosis of acne by a pediatric dermatologist will be enrolled in this study. The study consists of 1 visit, questions regarding demographics, assessment of the teen's acne, the Skindex-Teen quality of life survey (modified for parents), and 2 Likert scales will be completed. In addition, the clinician will score the teen's acne using the standardized Investigator Global Assessment tool. Statistical analysis will compare teen subject answers to the Skindex-Teen with their parent's answers. Also analyzed will be the severity of acne and differences between the clinician IGA score and Skindex-Teen responses
