Study Summary

This study compares store and forward teledermatology with the conventional clinic-based consult process. Our primary objective is to determine whether the mean change in quality of life, as rated by the subscale scores and composite score on the Skindex-16 differs between the store and forward and conventional care modalities.

Primary Outcome

Skindex-16 Change Scores. Skindex-16 is a quality of life measure that assesses "bother." It includes the domains of symptoms, emotions, and functioning. A composite (total) score can also be calculated. The range of scores are 0 (never bothered) to 100 (always bothered) for subscale and composite scores. A negative change score represents a better quality of life. A change score of 10 points is considered clinically significant.
