LEAP-JIA
Join Our Study!
Who can participate in this study?
· Children with JIA (aged 14 years or above) and their parents, as well as adults who were diagnosed with JIA during childhood (<16 years old) are invited to participate
· Children <18 years old will need to obtain their parents’ permission to participate
· Participants must be able to speak English and be willing to participate in a focus group, which will be conducted via videoconference
What will happen once I join the study?
If you agree to take part in this study, you or/and your child (if aged 14 or above) will participate in a focus group with 4 to 6 other patients and their parents. During this focus group, you will discuss your personal journey and experience of having JIA, and how we can best capture your experience in our methods. You will also be invited to give us feedback on how we can improve on the methods we develop. We anticipate that the focus group will take about an hour and will be conducted virtually via videoconference at a time that is convenient to you. As a token of our appreciation, you will be given a $50 gift card at the completion of the focus group.
