Summary

This trial will test whether a shared decision making intervention can help reduce disease activity, improve medication adherence, and increase patient knowledge about RA in Veterans Affairs (VA) patients with RA.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with moderate to high rheumatoid arthritis activity who have been treated at participating clinics in the past year. It includes patients, clinicians, and non-clinician leaders involved in RA care. Participants must speak English and not have cognitive impairments that would prevent participation.
What is being tested?
The study tests a shared decision-making intervention aimed at improving RA disease outcomes. This involves an RA medication guide (RA Choice), training clinicians on communication, and activating patients to engage in their treatment choices.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on decision-making rather than new medications, it does not directly test treatments with side effects. However, any standard side effects of current RA medications may still apply to participants.
