The impact of AA on social interactions at work has not been established. Methods: We administered the Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised Scale to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation database to evaluate workplace bullying in patients with AA. Results: Ultimately, 673\/1,120 individuals who met inclusion criteria completed the survey. Most respondents were female (n = 537, 79.8%), Caucasian (n = 508, 75.5%), with an average age of 46.8 \u00b1 14, and employed full-time (n = 427, 63.4%). Our results demonstrate 21.7% (n = 146) of respondents experienced workplace bullying. Participants most frequently faced having their opinions ignored (53.8%, n = 362), being excluded (47.7%, n = 321), and having gossip spread about them (44.0%, n = 296). Notably, 75.0% (n = 120\/160) of individuals who self-reported bullying addressed the behavior; however, 30.8% of participants noted the bully continued (30.8%, n = 37). Stress associated with filing a complaint (43.5%, n = 293) and effect on future career options (36.1%, n = 243) were common barriers to report bullying. Conclusion: This study expands our understanding of the psychosocial impact of AA by confirming individuals with AA experience workplace bullying. Stigma against patients may play a role in this phenomenon. Future work is warranted to identify strategies to reduce bullying against patients with AA. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000529924","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,27]],"date-time":"2023-04-27T21:00:36Z","timestamp":1682629236000},"page":"258-261","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Experiencing Workplace Bullying in Patients with Alopecia Areata: A Cross-Sectional Survey Study"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Sara J.","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1580-8008","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sophia","family":"Reyes-Hadsall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lara","family":"Drake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kathie","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arash","family":"Mostaghimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2017.04.1141"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0974-7753.136746"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamadermatol.2020.5732"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02678370902815673"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2158244017715674"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.18926"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s13555-022-00864-1"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamadermatol.2018.5218"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s13555-021-00512-0"}],"container-title":["Skin Appendage Disorders"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/sad\/article-pdf\/9\/4\/258\/3981111\/000529924.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/sad\/article-pdf\/9\/4\/258\/3981111\/000529924.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T15:18:32Z","timestamp":1745421512000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000529924"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,7]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,4]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000529924","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{"is-supplemented-by":[{"id-type":"doi","id":"10.6084\/m9.figshare.22551316","asserted-by":"subject"}]},"ISSN":["2296-9195","2296-9160"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2296-9195","type":"print"},{"value":"2296-9160","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023]]}}}
