Description Module

Brief Summary

Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects almost 100% of the teenagers worldwide. The peak incidence is between 12 and 18 years old, although it can be present in adults. There are many different beliefs about what can cause or exacerbate acne, and also about treatment.

In Mexico, 26.4% of the population is between 15 and 29 years old, which represents that more than 25% of the population is at risk for presenting acne. In our country, the different beliefs about the causes and treatment of acne among general adolescent population have not been explored. The objective of the present study is to determine the possible causes for which young Mexicans do not go to the dermatologist to receive treatment for acne. Our main hypothesis is that the lack of knowledge of the disease is responsible for this behavior.

Detailed Description

Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects almost 100% of the teenagers worldwide. The peak incidence is between 12 and 18 years old, although it can be present in adults. There are many different beliefs about what factors can cause or exacerbate acne, as well concerning treatments.

In Mexico, 26.4% of the population is between 15 and 29 years old, which represents that more than 25% of the population is at risk for presenting acne. In our country, there are diverse beliefs about the causes and treatment of acne among general adolescent population which have not been explored before. The objective of the present study is to determine possible causes that are involved in the low use of health system with the intention to receive treatment for acne. The investigators' main hypothesis is that the lack of knowledge of the disease is responsible for this behavior.

The investigators are going to explore health, educational, family and economic issues in the search of association by multivariate analysis.
