Psoriatic Arthritis D2P Screening
Sponsor: Jessica Walsh
Summary
The overarching goal of this study is to develop a direct-to-patient screening approach that will improve early Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) detection in patients with psoriasis. Previously developed screening questionnaires were intended for use in the setting of a doctor's office to assist providers with referral decisions. However, these screening questionnaires are infrequently used in routine practice because of limitations with time and resources. The study will aim to develop a practical screening strategy that does not require involvement from dermatologists (or other non-rheumatology providers) and can systematically reach a broad range of psoriasis patients, including patients not attending dermatology clinics. The researchers hypothesize that disseminating questionnaires directly to patients outside of a clinic setting (direct-to-patient approach) will educate patients about their PsA risk and improve early PsA diagnoses.

Direct to patient PsA Screening Questionnaire
Patients randomized to an intervention group will be asked to complete and score the 5-item Psoriasis Epidemiology Screening Tool (PEST) questionnaire. Those patients with an elevated score (PEST ≥3 out of 5) will be advised to complete a rheumatologic evaluation for PsA.
