Abstract
Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is associated with a number of published disparities, including those related to self-identified racial/ethnic populations. Black/African American populations in the United States experience greater AD prevalence, severity, and persistence compared to other demographic groups, such as those who self-identify as White. There is consistent evidence that healthcare, environmental, and socioeconomic factors affect the prevalence, severity, and/or persistence of AD. Additionally, because of institutional and systemic racism, these same risk factors are more prevalent in racial and ethnic minority populations. Herein, we review the underlying causes of racial/ethnic disparities in AD and potential strategies to improve AD diagnosis and disease control.
