Abstract

Patient satisfaction and outcomes can be optimized by identifying preferences for topical vehicles by age, gender, and ethnicity. Our study sought to identify variations in preferences for creams, lotions, and ointments among different age groups, genders, and ethnicities. Each demographic group revealed statistically significant differences in vehicle preference (P < .05).
