CDC-Funded Science
Arthritis Self-Management Education—Dose-Response
Funding Number
S3521
Project Description
The Arthritis Self-Management Program, also known as the Arthritis
Foundation Self-Help Program has been shown to be very beneficial for
people with arthritis. However, many people who could benefit from this
program cannot attend due to the time demands of the current program (6
weeks, 2 hours per week). The purpose of this study is to develop and
test shortened versions (or lower doses) of the Arthritis Self-Management Program. If successful, these shortened versions of the
program will provide self-management education to people with arthritis
who otherwise would not be able to receive it.
Project Objectives
- Develop a shortened version of the Arthritis Self-Management
Program.
- Test this new self-study program among 900 individuals with
arthritis (Caucasian, African American, and Spanish speaking).
- Provide guidance on how state arthritis programs can disseminate
this self management education program.
