Report from the first European Dermato-Epidemiology Network forum

Summary

The first European Dermato-Epidemiology Network (EDEN) forum was held on 30–31 March 2017 in Madrid, Spain. Dermatoepidemiology describes the study of causes, prevention, health services research and evaluation of interventions of skin diseases. EDEN aims to promote high-quality research, share expertise and facilitate collaboration. These aims were achieved during the EDEN forum by including a preconference course on skin cancer epidemiology; having excellent world-leading guest speakers on causality, quality of care, pharmacoepidemiology and missing data analysis; and including delegates who presented and discussed innovative research findings. The meeting brought together delegates from 11 different countries. We welcome everyone with an interest in clinical research and epidemiology related to skin disease to attend next year's meeting in March 2018 in Berlin.
