The Global Research on the Impact of Dermatological Diseases (GRIDD) project is the first global patient impact project in the history of dermatology. It aims to collect global data on the impact of dermatological diseases directly from patients.
The GRIDD data will support local, national, and international advocacy work for more research, better treatments, and healthcare policies, and, ultimately, will improve the lives of dermatology patients. For the first time, dermatology patients around the world and from all disease types will contribute to a dataset that measures the true impact of living with their diseases.
Tools & Resources
The Global Research on the Impact of Dermatological Diseases (GRIDD) project team has developed tools that you, as the disease expert can share with your community.
The GRIDD Study will be live from June 5 through December 31. The primary goal of the study is to capture responses from 10,000 dermatology patients from as many regions and dermatological conditions as possible.
Below you will find tools for both Patient Organizations that are GlobalSkin Members, and all other Stakeholders. Each toolkit can be downloaded as a PDF, as well as a downloadable zipped file where you will find social cards, logos, as well as the Word document version of the toolkit for ease of use.
We thank you in advance for your participation in the GRIDD Study and for working with us to share this unprecedented opportunity with your patient communities.
