This project is in collaboration with the Alopecia Vereniging (Dutch Alopecia Association). The goal of this project is to create a comprehensive overview of what is currently known about the psychological aspects of living with alopecia areata, alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis. The project will focus both on adults and on children/adolescents. This project is preregistered on PROSPERO.
