简要总结
A diagnostic algorithm to diagnose eleven common skin diseases will be developed partly by literature review and validated by experts. Health workers in the selected tribal hamlets will be trained in diagnosing skin diseases using this algorithm and they will be made to diagnose skin diseases in study population in the selected tribal hamlets. A panel of three dermatologists will independently examine and arrive at clinical diagnosis and this will be taken as the reference standard. The diagnostic performance will be assessed in terms of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and likelihood ratios.
