ALPPQ
The Hair Loss Impact Questionnaire (Alopecia Areata Patient Priority Outcomes Questionnaire, ALPPQ) is a disease-specific, patient-administered quality-of-life measure assessing the psychosocial and functional burden of alopecia areata, a chronic autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss. Alopecia areata affects appearance, self-esteem, and social functioning disproportionately, often causing depression and anxiety. The ALPPQ captures these impacts, ensuring that treatment efficacy encompasses meaningful quality-of-life outcomes. It is increasingly used in clinical trials and observational studies of alopecia areata therapeutics.
