Summary

This study tests an online program designed to help people with inflammatory arthritis remain employed. The program includes eLearning modules, group video sessions, and consultations with an occupational therapist and vocational counselor. About 528 participants from three Canadian provinces will be randomly assigned to the program or to receive printed educational materials. The study will track work productivity and job loss over five years.
