Do You Have Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Ever wish you had the opportunity to discuss your experience of having RA as a young adult?

As an RA patient myself, I am eager to better understand the experience of living with RA from the perspective of those that have also experienced it! 

If you are 21-35 years old, currently diagnosed with RA or inflammatory arthritis, and interested in sharing your experiences, you may be eligible to volunteer to participate in a research study aimed to gain knowledge and understanding about how young adults experience life with RA.

Participating in this study will involve discussing your experiences with RA in an approximately 90-minute private interview in Anaheim, CA.

You will not receive compensation for your participation; however, you may find expressing the thoughts and feelings associated with your RA as beneficial and your responses may help us better understand what it is like to have RA for other young adults.

This study is being conducted by Ashleigh Louis, MA, LMFT, under the supervision of Dr. Joanni Sailor, PhD., LMFT (580) 351-7632, as part of the dissertation requirement of the Psychology doctoral program at Capella University, Minneapolis, MN.
