Studying mask-related skin changes among Beaumont employees
The Beaumont, Farmington Hills Dermatology Residency program invites you to participate in a research survey. The survey is anonymous and voluntary. It should take about 10 minutes to complete. By completing the survey, you are agreeing to participate in the study.
As the COVID-19 pandemic has spread across the world, there has been a rising number of skin issues (e.g., acne, break outs, itching, etc.) in health care workers related to increased mask usage. However, a limited amount of investigation has examined what types of masks, which health care workers and other factors that may be associated with the rising number of skin changes from increased mask usage. If you are willing to participate, please complete the online survey.
Thank you for your time and for considering participation in our research study. If you have any questions please contact 947-521-7393.
