Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) impacts quality of life causing disability and increased mortality. Treatment decisions are complex and require individualized decisions. Shared decision making (SDM) is the first principle of RA treat-to-target guidelines but uptake is suboptimal. We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of a multicomponent SDM intervention on RA disease activity and explore the early implementation of the intervention within three geographically diverse rheumatology services.
