Personalized Risk Estimator for Rheumatoid Arthritis Family Study

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: First Degree Relatives of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients

In brief

The purpose of this study is to understand how personalized risk factors for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may impact willingness to change behaviors associated with RA. The investigators have developed a personalized risk estimator for RA based on demographics, family history, biomarkers and behaviors related to RA risk. Eligible participants have a first degree relative with RA but do not have RA themselves. Participants who meet eligibility and consent to the study will be randomized to receive either standard information about RA, the online personalized RA risk tool, or the online personalized RA risk tool with guidance from a health educator. Participants will be followed to measure willingness to change RA risk behaviors. The investigators hypothesize that participants who receive the online personalized RA risk tool and health education will be more willing to change RA risk behaviors compared to participants that receive standard RA information.
