Osteoporosis Prevention Among People With Rheumatoid Arthritis Receiving Oral Glucocorticoid Therapy

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The ultimate objective of the proposed research is to improve the health-related quality of life of individuals with rheumatoid arthritis by reducing their risk of developing osteoporosis secondary to glucocorticoid therapy. The study has four specific aims. Specific Aim 1: To obtain descriptive information concerning patients' knowledge, beliefs and behaviors with respect to osteoporosis and osteoporosis prevention. Specific Aim 2: To identify factors that discriminate among patients in different stages of change with respect to each behavior of interest. Specific Aim 3: To compare the effects of tailored versus generic educational materials on patient adherence to the ACR Guidelines for the Prevention of Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis. Specific Aim 4: To determine if the effects of tailored educational materials are enhanced by concurrent feedback of information concerning patients' behavioral risk factor status to their physicians.
