The Determination team is proud to be honored here at the DENI
Summit.
Patients of color with psoriatic disease are underrepresented and
are often under diagnosed and under treated.
Our goal through determination is to build programs that reduce
the systemic barriers to diagnosis and treatment.
For example, patients of color are 70% less likely to be
prescribed to biologic treatment than their white counterparts.
That can have a significant impact on outcomes and quality
of life.
Our biggest challenge was getting the right team of
internal and external experts in place to address such a nuanced
issue, but the breadth of experience on our panel has
truly powered this work.
So far, 200 patients are receiving support with
appointments, prescriptions, lab tests, and other concerns.
And the Beyond, the textbook resource for HCPS, has reached
nearly 8000 unique users since the launch, with placement in
major publications like Self, Glamour, and Essence.
We are so grateful that J&J prioritizes and supports
initiatives like Determination.
Thank you.
