Arthritis Information -Adjustment to Arthritis Research

Hello! I am a researcher from the University of Windsor looking for people with any form of arthritis to complete an on-line survey about how present, past, and future self-perceptions influence well-being and adjustment to arthritis. The survey takes approximately 30 minutes to complete, and you will have a chance to win one of several gift certificates worth CDN (or USD/Euro equivalent) from a major online bookseller. You can also have the survey mailed to you if you prefer. This is an academic research project and is not affiliated in any way with any pharmaceutical companies or commercial enterprises. The purpose is to increase knowledge and understanding about coping with arthritis.

As someone who has lived with arthritis for the past 8 years, I know how much this disease can change your life. I invite you to share your own experiences of adjusting to life with arthritis in this survey. I have tried to make the content of the survey as meaningful as possible and I hope that by completing it you will learn something about yourself and your coping.

If you are interested in participating or for more information please visit the study website at
