Children diagnosed with JIA between 4 and 24 months before the start of the study, treated and followed in a pediatric rheumatology center (old enough to answer the questions)

Parents of a child diagnosed with JIA between 4 and 24 months prior to the start of the study (treated and followed in a pediatric rheumatology center)

Physician with experience in the initial management of JIA patients (between symptom onset and first visit with a pediatric rheumatologist)

Subjects will be recruited in a purposive, non-randomized manner. Data will be collected to obtain a sufficient diversity of perspectives on the topic, while maintaining sufficient homogeneity for analysis.

The number of participants cannot be determined in advance; it will be determined after data saturation.

Through semi-structured interviews, the study will reconstruct the referral pathway to the pediatric rheumatology center for JIA patients.

• For patients and their parents, the interviews will focus on their experiences of the health care system, their feelings about interactions with health professional, their expectations and the elements that led to the parents' decision regarding their child's health.
• For health care professionals, the interviews will focus on their experience in managing children with JIA (from the symptom onset to the first visit with the pediatric rheumatologist), the difficulties they encountered, and the improvements to be made in training and communication.
