A randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of the Making It Work program at preventing work loss and improving at work productivity in employed people with inflammatory arthritis.
FY 2010-11
Summary
People with inflammatory arthritis, commonly have to stop working, with major consequences to their quality of life. Yet, few services exist to deal with employment. We have developed and pilot tested a novel intervention to help people with inflammatory arthritis remain employed. Results were very favourable. For the program to become widely available and health policy planners to agree to fund it, we need to demonstrate its effectiveness. In a randomized controlled trial, we will compare work outcomes in 263 employed people receiving a web-based version of our program compared to 263 receiving usual care, along with printed material about work and arthritis.
