Understanding Causes of Hospitalization For Patients Living With Arthritis
Summary
Invitation to share your recent hospitalization experience!
Share your story of your recent hospital experience to help researchers understand why patients with arthritis may have to seek care in hospital.
Through one interview, help the research team to understand:
- what led to the need for care in a hospital or urgent/emergency care setting,
- what health services you may have tried to access to avoid this visit, and
