It can be diagnosed through a variety of techniques. Many chemicals that cause a type IV allergy can also cause CU. The incidence of CU to these chemicals is unknown.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n The aim of this study was to evaluate the opinions of the American Contact Dermatitis Society members regarding CU and scratch testing.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n We distributed an electronic survey to the American Contact Dermatitis Society members regarding observed prevalence of CU, frequency of scratch testing in clinical practice, and interest in learning about scratch testing in diagnosing CU and other skin contact conditions.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n We distributed 508 surveys and received 133 responses. Seventeen percent reported that CU was extremely rare, 32% reported that CU was rare, and 38.9% reported that CU was infrequent. Alternatively, 10.7% believed that CU was common, and 1.5% believed that CU was extremely common. A minority, 19.1%, performed scratch testing on patients with suspected CU. Most respondents, 54.6%, were interested in learning about scratch testing.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Additional education regarding scratch testing could increase comfort and use of scratch testing in clinical practice. Further studies are needed to evaluate the prevalence of CU in the general population and better guide the use of testing for dermatologic patients.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/der.0000000000000086","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,12]],"date-time":"2014-11-12T10:29:09Z","timestamp":1415788149000},"page":"366-369","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Prevalence and Interest in the Practice of Scratch Testing for Contact Urticaria: A Survey of the American Contact Dermatitis Society Members"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Quinn","family":"Orb","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the *University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jillian Wong","family":"Millsop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, California Pacific Medical Center, San Francisco"},{"name":"Department of Dermatology, University of California Davis, Sacramento"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"KaLynne","family":"Harris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, University of Utah, Salt Lake City."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Douglas","family":"Powell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, University of Utah, Salt Lake City."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Contact Urticaria Syndrome","author":"Amin S","year":"1997","unstructured":"Amin S, , Maibach HI.
