Responders manage patients with allergic and irritant dermatitis at a similar frequency. On average, they patch test 4 patients per week using 66 allergens per patient, which often include customized trays. Almost half of these practitioners learned patch testing from their residency programs. Most of the responders read and value the Society journal, value the Contact Allergen Management Program database, and attend society meetings.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n The ACDS is comprised overwhelmingly of dermatologists who are primarily community-based, young relative to the start of their practices, and use the Society\u2019s resources for continuing education.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/der.0b013e31828cbb15","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,16]],"date-time":"2014-04-16T12:03:02Z","timestamp":1397649782000},"page":"47-49","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Making Contact for Contact Dermatitis: A Survey of the Membership of the American Contact Dermatitis Society"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Kaveh A.","family":"Nezafati","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the *Department of Dermatology, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bryan","family":"Carroll","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dallas Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Dallas, TX"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frances J.","family":"Storrs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland, OR."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"suffix":", Jr","given":"Ponciano D.","family":"Cruz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the *Department of Dermatology, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","unstructured":"American Contact Dermatitis Society Website.
