Hair loss can have a profound impact on self\u2010esteem and body image, particularly during childhood and adolescence. Understanding the psychosocial impact of alopecia areata in paediatric and adolescent populations is crucial to address the emotional and social challenges faced by these patients. The aim is to review the existing literature for clinical studies and reports investigating the psychosocial impact of alopecia areata in paediatric and adolescent populations. A systematic review of the literature was performed using PubMed, Cochrane and Embase databases from inception to July 2023. Included articles assessed the psychosocial impact of alopecia areata in paediatric and adolescent populations. Of 79 total articles, 10 were identified as meeting the inclusion criteria. Several studies highlighted self\u2010esteem, emotional distress and social challenges as features of psychosocial manifestations. Factors such as stress, psychiatric comorbidities and familial issues are significantly associated with alopecia areata in these populations. The heterogeneity of studies precluded data synthesis and analysis. A majority of the included studies evaluated short\u2010term findings. Alopecia areata has significant psychosocial impacts in paediatric and adolescent populations, with studies emphasising the negative effects on self\u2010esteem, body image and quality of life. Additional research is required to better elucidate this relationship and draw meaningful conclusions to guide clinical support and interventions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jpc.16678","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,8]],"date-time":"2024-10-08T06:33:43Z","timestamp":1728369223000},"page":"778-782","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Psychosocial impact of alopecia areata in paediatric and adolescent populations: A systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5756-6609","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabella J","family":"Tan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School  New Brunswick New Jersey USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad","family":"Jafferany","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Central Michigan University College of Medicine  Mount Pleasant Michigan USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/1573396316666200430084825"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamadermatol.2022.0351"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2020.06.047"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jocd.14416"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4088\/PCC.v09n0306"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.n71"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/pde.15237"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/ijd.IJD_378_18"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.12315"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bjd.20904"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.2011.10714.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2008.03743.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3402\/qhw.v10.26039"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpsychores.2011.01.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jocd.13807"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2018.01.048"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2022.1054898"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2018.12.051"}],"container-title":["Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/jpc.16678","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,4]],"date-time":"2024-12-04T12:55:52Z","timestamp":1733316952000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/jpc.16678"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,7]]},"references-count":18,"journal-issue":{"issue":"12","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,12]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/jpc.16678"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/jpc.16678","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1034-4810","1440-1754"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1034-4810","type":"print"},{"value":"1440-1754","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,7]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2024-04-29","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-09-16","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-10-07","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
