Abstract
Many rural areas in sub-Saharan Africa face a high prevalence and morbidity of skin disease and are challenged by a lack of accessible dermatologists. In Ghana, community pharmacies, called chemical shops, were established to respond to these inequities. Our study evaluates the dermatologic knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of Licensed Chemical Sellers (LCS) within several districts of Ghana’s Ashanti Region. To assess the dermatologic KAP of LCS, we created a questionnaire and recorded direct interviews over a three-week period with Ghanaian research assistants' help.
