Canadian Skin Patient Alliance (CSPA):
Pan-Canadian Mental Health Survey
This survey will give us critical insight into how skin, hair, and nail conditions affect mental health across Canada. The findings from this project will be used to build a report that will be shared with clinicians, policy-makers, and dermatological patients alike with the goal of improving our understanding of how living with these conditions affects mental health, so as to better inform and improve access to care, supportive resources and treatments. Those who complete the survey will be entered into a draw for one of four $50 gift cards to a retailer of their choice. Scan or click below:
