Participants completed the Alopecia Assessment Tool (ALTO) to identify AA. Participants with AA completed the Scalp Hair Assessment Patient\u2010Reported Outcome to assess hair loss and a questionnaire on hair loss experience. Lifetime prevalence was calculated as the proportion of participants with AA per the ALTO, and point prevalence was calculated as the proportion of participants with AA per the ALTO and current scalp hair loss.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 8,256 participants, 194 had potential AA, and of those, 188 were aged \u2265\u200915\u2009years. The lifetime prevalence (95% CI) of AA among those aged \u2265\u200915\u2009years ranged from 1.2% (1.08\u20131.32) to 2.3% (2.13\u20132.47), with a point prevalence (95% CI) of 0.9% (0.79\u20131.01) to 1.4% (1.27\u20131.53). Of 194 participants with potential AA, 125 had healthcare provider (HCP)\u2010diagnosed AA and 69 had self\u2010diagnosed AA. More self\u2010diagnosed participants had active hair loss than HCP\u2010diagnosed participants. Thirty\u2010nine HCP\u2010diagnosed participants (31.2%) were not using any treatment\/management approach, and of those, 23.1% were unaware of treatment\/management options.
