Peer Review of the 60-Second PRP Roadmap

DATE: January, 2024
TO: Peer Review Participants
FROM: Bill McCue, PRP Alliance
SUBJECT: 60-Second PRP Roadmap — Peer Review Workbook

No one has ever written a book about pityriasis rubra pilaris from the patient perspective. In fact, no one has ever written about PRP from any perspective.  I am asking you to make medical history with me.

My PRP journey began in early August 2012 with the appearance of a red spot on my forehead. It took almost four months before I was properly diagnosed with PRP. I had no roadmap. I learned about PRP from other PRP patients.

What is the Peer Review Workbook?

  • The Peer Review Workbook is a near final draft of the 60-second PRP Roadmap scheduled for publication in February, 2024 and reflects the insights and experiences shared by PRP patients and caregivers since 1997.

Who will participate in the Peer Review?

  • Members of the PRP Support Group (patinets and caregivers)
  • Dermatologists who are currently treating PRP patients or have treated PRP patients in the past

What should you be reviewing?

  • What’s missing or incomplete? I can add it.
  • What’s incorrect? I can fix it.
  • What’s confusing? I can make it make sence.

How to save what you have reviewed?

  • Space has been allocated at the end of each Section and each Appendix for peer reviewers  to jot down any observations you might want to share.
  • “Empty box” bullets have been used to make it easier to “tag” a problem or issue needing to be reported.
  • Write notes in the margins. This is a workbook!

How will we share what you have learned?

  • Email
  • Online survey
  • ZOOM Focus Groups scheduled to accommodate  ALL time zones.

Then what?

  • The comments of all peer reviewers will be integrated into the FINAL manuscript and delivered to Amazon Book Publisher for publication in February 2024 before Rare Disease Day.
