STATEMENT OF NEED/PROGRAM OVERVIEW

People from racially and ethnically diverse populations with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) face socioeconomic and care inequities that impair their access to optimal care for AD and its comorbidities. In addition, topical corticosteroids and unapproved immunosuppressants are often relied upon to treat moderate-to-severe AD, delaying the evidence-based use of more-effective targeted treatments.

Join a panel of diverse allergy and dermatology specialists, patients, and representatives from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) for a series of CME activities designed to share strategies that maintain long-term control across the lifespan of AD, from pediatric to adulthood, while ensuring access and care equity for diverse racial and ethnic patient populations. Expert panelists will address gaps in therapy initiation and long-term efficacy and safety, while reviewing experiences with current therapies for moderate-to-severe AD. The education will also emphasize the systemic and T2-driven nature of AD, along with the need for multidisciplinary care.

Session 1, “Disparity and Equity in Moderate-to-Severe AD Care: Enhancing Access to Multidisciplinary Care for Patients from Diverse Populations,” will highlight the unique challenges that people from diverse racial and ethnic groups face when attempting to access care, obtain a diagnosis, and receive holistic care that addresses AD and any associated comorbidities.

Session 2, “Endophenotypes, Evidence, and Long-Term Outcomes in Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis Management: A Decision Library,” will guide clinicians to align therapeutic decisions to clinical endophenotypes in patients of different age groups and races. Panelists will also review evidence-based treatment recommendations to achieve long-term disease control, along with strategies to encourage shared decision-making with patients.

Do you have patients who could benefit from related education on the recognition and treatment of AD? Direct your patients to MedLive.com to access the patient-education activity, “It Isn’t Just Skin: The Ins and Outs of Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis.”

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
  • Drawing from examples in other diseases, such as asthma, summarize strategies to enhance access to AD care for people from diverse populations.
  • Summarize the impacts of age, race, and ethnicity on the presentation of AD and the influence of underlying inflammatory pathways on therapeutic decisions
  • Engage patients with moderate-to-severe AD and their caregivers in shared decision-making to set treatment expectations, define success, and make timely therapeutic changes to facilitate long-term remission
