title: Opportunities for research in dermatologic epidemiology.
abstract: This report is based on a number of papers presented at the March 1993 Scientific Workshop on the Epidemiology of Skin Diseases, sponsored by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. It focuses on opportunities in dermatologic epidemiology identified at the workshop and discusses these opportunities in the context of health maintenance organizations as sites for data collection, problems to be expected, and the potential contribution of dermatologic epidemiology.
