FlexCAre: Flexible Care Delivery Model for Arthritis

Overview 

The goal of this study is to find out what is important to you when it comes to follow-up and continued care delivery of your inflammatory rheumatic disease. The information we collect will help inform a team of scientists, clinicians, patients, community and supporting partners who are designing new ways to deliver care.

What will be done?

Participating in this study will involve taking an online survey which is expected to take 25 minutes to complete. The survey will ask you questions about yourself, your experience with inflammatory rheumatic diseases, and it will present a series of hypothetical choices for you to make decisions about. You will be compensated for your time.
