Results from survey of psoriasis patients don't look good.

It's interesting and I agree with Amanda that the mainline will be true, but...

31 countries are involved. We already know that the differences between UK, France and the Netherlands are immense, let alone the differences between 31 different countries.

I wonder if they were somehow able to compensate for those differences, otherwise the country where they sell mainly apples will influence the country where they sell mostly pears, let alone for the banana and pineapple countries.
Dumping it all on a pile, call it fruit and than give common statements about it, is likely to disturb the end view.

Interesting way of looking at it. It's the same here at Psoriasis Club, the majority of our members are European and then USA, but we have members from all over the world.

I've just found this:

Novartis initiated and funded the survey, which was conducted by the market research company Gesellschaft für Konsumforschung (GfK) Switzerland. The survey was supported by a prestigious steering committee of medical experts from around the world. With 8,338 participants, this is the largest global survey to date of people with psoriasis and is the first survey of its kind to focus on what achieving clear skin means to the quality of life for people with psoriasis.

Participants in the survey come from the following 31 countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, the UK and the US.

But it doesn't give percentages or make it clear if it was an online survey.
