Medical Trial: Appraising Medical Trial Experiences of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients

Observational Clinical Trial Appraising Medical Trial Experiences of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Participating In Clinical Research

Historically, participation in clinical trials has been highly skewed towards specific demographic groups. However, research identifying which trial attributes impact participation, in either positive or negative ways, is limited. This study invites participants to record a wide range of data on their clinical trial experience, with the goal being to identify factors which persistently limit patients' ability to participate in, or complete, a trial in which they were initially interested. This data will be analyzed through a range of demographic lenses, in hopes of discovering patterns which might improve the experience of future rheumatoid arthritis patients.
