IMPORTANCE: Perceived stigma among patients with alopecia is associated with impaired quality of life; however, the magnitude of laypersons' stigma toward individuals with alopecia is unknown.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence and magnitude of laypersons' stigma toward individuals with varying degrees of alopecia and whether stigma increases with increased severity of alopecia.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This was a cross-sectional study using an internet survey administered to a convenience sample of adult respondents in the US participating on the Amazon Mechanical Turk platform. Portrait images of 6 individuals without hair loss were created using artificial intelligence and stock images. Each portrait was edited to create 2 additional versions, 1 with scalp hair loss and 1 with complete hair loss, for a total of 18 images. On January 9 to 10, 2020, the survey presented each internet respondent with 1 randomly selected portrait to be used in answering a series of stigma-related questions from 3 domains: stereotypes, social distance, and disease-related myths; the third domain was presented only to respondents who believed that the individual pictured had a medical condition.
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The main outcome was the prevalence and magnitude of stigma of laypersons toward individuals with alopecia and the percentage of laypersons who believed the individual pictured had a medical condition as recorded in survey responses.
RESULTS: The survey was completed by 2015 respondents (99.9% completion rate) with a mean age of 37 (range, 18-78) years; 1014 (50.3%) were men; 1596 (79.2%) were White; and 1397 (69.3%) had a college or postcollege education. Endorsement of every stigma item increased as alopecia severity increased (2.4%-27.6%). Absolute change on the stereotype (0.5-0.6) and social distance scales (0.2-0.5) also increased, indicating more stigma. The percentage of respondents believing the individual pictured had a medical condition increased as alopecia severity increased (33.6%-75.7%; P < .001). Among the subgroup of respondents who were asked to rate their agreement with disease-related myths, the absolute change on the myth scale decreased as alopecia severity increased, indicating decreased stigma (-0.7 to -1.2).
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This cross-sectional survey study found that stigmatizing attitudes of laypersons toward patients with alopecia exist across a multitude of social and professional scenarios. Stigma prevalence and magnitude vary by alopecia severity and possibly by whether alopecia is believed to be a medical condition.
