This directly informs healthcare providers, researchers, and insurance companies about the needs and struggles of those living with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis[1][2].
- **Improving Quality of Life**: The surveys and subsequent research have led to presentations at leading scientific conferences and publications in peer-reviewed journals, which contribute to better care and management of psoriasis. The NPF also emphasizes the importance of achieving clear or almost clear skin, which can significantly improve the quality of life for patients[1][2].
- **Promoting Positive Change**: The NPF advocates for policy changes and better healthcare practices, and their research funding has driven discoveries towards better treatments and potentially a cure for psoriatic disease. The organization's relocation to Washington, D.C., is aimed at enhancing policy and advocacy efforts[4][5].
