- Abstract
Validated epidemiological estimates of the prevalence of skin diseases remain an unmet challenge. Most patients in many health care systems do not see dermatologists for skin problems. Assessments based on claims data or self-report are likely to contain substantial misclassification. Population-based in-person dermatological exams have proven impractical because of the number of patients required. However, in the US, there is a large skin cancer screening program where volunteer dermatologists assess almost 100,000 people annually.
