In 2019, LEO Pharma and the Psoriasis Association partnered to conduct three pieces of market research: General Public Attitudes Survey (GPAS); Patient Survey (PS); Patient Diary Exercise (PDE). GPAS analysed the data from 2,006 UK adults, which included a subsample of 128 people with self-reported psoriasis and 1,878 people without psoriasis. PS analysed data from 100 UK adults currently living with psoriasis and the PDEs included experiences from 20 different adults from the UK with psoriasis. In conjunction with the new survey findings, LEO Pharma and the Psoriasis Association developed the Wake Up to Psoriasis Report.
