Acne-QoL/Evidence
Method evidence record

Acne-QoL

Acne-QoL is a disease-specific, patient-administered quality-of-life measure assessing the psychological and social burden of acne vulgaris. Acne is the most common skin disease in adolescents and young adults and causes substantial psychological distress, depression, anxiety, and social impairment disproportionate to its severity. Multiple versions of Acne-QoL exist (19–24 items); all capture emotional, social, and functional impacts. Acne-QoL is essential in clinical trials and observational studies to ensure treatment efficacy encompasses quality-of-life outcomes.
