Perceptions of arthritis study
We're seeking volunteers for a research study investigating how the general public think about a common type of arthritis.
What's involved?
Participants will watch a 3-minute video on the condition, then complete a questionnaire with a study researcher about their perceptions of the arthritis.
Participants can choose to watch the video and complete the questionnaire:
- online over Zoom, or
- in person, at the Clinical Research Centre at the University of Auckland’s Grafton Campus.
It will take 20-30 minutes to complete the study.
To thank participants for their contribution to the research, they will be given a $30 supermarket voucher at the end of the study.
Eligibility criteria
To be eligible for the study, you must be aged 18 years or older and be able to read and complete a questionnaire in English.
