Optimizing Communication About Topical Corticosteroids: A Quality Improvement Study [Formula: see text].

Background: Patients are often non-adherent to topical corticosteroids (TCS). This may be in part due to poor communication between patients and dermatologists.

Objectives: This quality improvement (QI) study aims to describe dermatologist-patient communication about TCS treatments and to compare communication before and after the implementation of an educational intervention.
