    TLDR The research explored how children in school view peers with alopecia areata.
    The study from July 1, 2013, investigated the perceptions of school-aged children from kindergarten through grade 8 towards peers with alopecia areata (AA). It aimed to understand the social ramifications associated with AA, a condition known to increase depressive symptoms and anxiety in children. The document did not provide specific details on the methodology or findings, so the summary cannot include the number of participants involved or the specific conclusions drawn from the research. However, the study's focus was on the attitudes and perceptions of children towards their peers suffering from AA, which implies an exploration of the social impact of the condition within a school environment.
