Using data from an anonymous survey administered to 1,214 students in public middle and high schools in New Jersey, we compared the self\u2010reported acne frequency, severity, and beliefs of students based on their help\u2010seeking behaviors, treatment choices, and treatment adherence. Chi\u2010square analyses were performed for data comparison. A large proportion of students in this sample (57%) treated their own acne, and a much smaller proportion (17%) have sought medical care. Students who saw a health professional reported acne of higher frequency and severity than those who did not (p\u2003=\u20030.01). Severity also appeared to affect treatment adherence, with students who adhered to recommended treatments reporting more frequent (p\u2003&lt;\u20030.001) and more severe (p\u2003=\u20030.02) acne than those who chose to self\u2010treat. Beliefs and knowledge varied most significantly according to treatment adherence. In conclusion, most adolescent students treat their own acne. Self\u2010assessment of acne severity plays a significant role in the tendency to seek out and adhere to medical treatment. Beliefs and knowledge may also affect adherence, suggesting a role for physicians to influence adherence rates through patient education. Because the majority of students are getting information from nonphysician sources, there may be a need to evaluate the resources they are using to make sure they are receiving appropriate, helpful information.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1525-1470.2012.01807.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,14]],"date-time":"2012-08-14T01:23:07Z","timestamp":1344907387000},"page":"36-41","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Self\u2010Reported Help\u2010Seeking Behaviors and Treatment Choices of Adolescents Regarding Acne"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Kristen C.","family":"Corey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carol E.","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Blair","family":"Irwin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandra B.","family":"Kimball","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mjd.2001.111340"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(11)60321-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00015550252948121"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2009.03922.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/jid.2009.47"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","first-page":"503","article-title":"Acne and acne scarring\u2014the case for active and early intervention","volume":"35","author":"Goodman G","year":"2006","journal-title":"Aust Fam Physician"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2133.1999.02768.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2133.2001.04346.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2007.02497.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","first-page":"81","article-title":"Acne counseling to improve adherence","volume":"81","author":"Thiboutot D","year":"2008","journal-title":"Cutis"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0738-3991(03)00168-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2006.01829.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1525-1470.2010.01286.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000017851"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1525-1470.2011.01493.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2009.07.043"}],"container-title":["Pediatric Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1525-1470.2012.01807.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1525-1470.2012.01807.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,30]],"date-time":"2023-10-30T20:30:32Z","timestamp":1698697832000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1525-1470.2012.01807.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,13]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2013,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1525-1470.2012.01807.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1525-1470.2012.01807.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0736-8046","1525-1470"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0736-8046","type":"print"},{"value":"1525-1470","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,13]]}}}
