Self‐report HE was based on the Nordic Occupational Skin Questionnaire.ResultsLow sensitivity (7%–37%) with high specificity (≥95%) was observed, with both measures improving from baseline to last visit. The severity of HE signs was the only factor associated with the correct identification of HE signs in analyses adjusted for previous HE signs, health‐related quality of life, and atopic dermatitis (adjusted odds ratios of 1.58 with 95% confidence interval [1.06–2.35] and 1.74[1.38–2.19] at second and third follow‐up visit, respectively).ConclusionsSelf‐report questionnaire for HE showed low sensitivity in hairdressing apprentices, especially at the beginning of training and in those with mild symptoms. Further validation studies following questionnaire modifications aimed at adolescent population are advised. 10.1111/cod.14686 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor |
