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.

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.
