[Agency] AHRQ [Project Title] Medication Summary Guides for Vulnerable Populations with Rheumatoid Arthritis [Institution] University of California, San Francisco [Amount] $0 [Summary] A complex, chronic disease such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) requires thorough knowledge of the disease and its treatments in order for patients to make informed decisions regarding their care. Despite advances in treatment, some patients continue to have more pain, worse function, and less use of certain drugs; especially patients who are racial or ethnic minorities, those who do not speak English very well, were born outside the U.S., or have less education. The proposed project will advance our current understanding of barriers to providing accurate, interpretable evidence-based information on the effectiveness, efficacy, harms and benefits of RA medications to those patients at greatest risk of poorer outcomes and allow for the successful development of innovative, appropriate summary medication guides and a decision aid tool for vulnerable populations with RA and their rheumatologists.
