aPatient clinical characteristics as reported by clinicians
b N = 13 patients self-reported that they were currently receiving treatment for psoriasis. From the clinical forms, current treatment was documented by clinic site staff for N = 14 patients
cResponses not mutually exclusive
dAll patients met study criteria at screening of self-reported genital psoriasis (Patient Global Assessment ≥ 4, 6-point scale); these data report status at the time of the interview
ePer interviewers’ judgment, the question was not asked due to auditory cues, conversation flow, and patient’s apparent lack of comfort with sensitive topics
