PsoCan diffuse cette enquête sur les femmes et l'arthrite au nom de nos amis, le comité ACE (Arthritis Consumer Experts). Les femmes sont touchées de manière démesurée par l’arthrite, mais une grande partie de leur expérience reste méconnue, non documentée et mal comprise.

Vous pouvez contribuer à changer les choses. Le comité ACE a lancé l’Enquête nationale sur les femmes et l’arthrite afin que les voix et les expériences des femmes atteintes d’arthrite soient entendues par les décideurs chargés d’élaborer les politiques de santé, les programmes et les conditions d’accès aux traitements.

Vos réponses aideront le comité ACE à identifier les lacunes dans les soins liés à l’arthrite et à élaborer des recommandations fondées sur des données probantes à l’intention des gouvernements, des décideurs du domaine de la santé et des régimes d’assurance-médicaments publics et privés. Les résultats fourniront également de nouvelles données probantes importantes au Canada concernant les effets de l’arthrite sur l’emploi des femmes, leurs responsabilités familiales, leur santé et leur qualité de vie.

Cette enquête s’adresse aux femmes atteintes d’une forme quelconque d’arthrite au Canada. Il faut environ 15 minutes pour répondre à l’Enquête. Répondez à l’Enquête nationale sur les femmes et l’arthrite : https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ACESurveyWomenandArthritis?lang=fr

PsoCan is sharing this survey on Women and Arthritis on behalf of our friends at Arthritis Consumer Experts (ACE)! Women are disproportionately affected by arthritis—but too much about their experiences remains unseen, undocumented and poorly understood. You can help change that. ACE has launched the National Survey on Women and Arthritis to ensure that the voices and experiences of women living with arthritis are heard by the people who shape healthcare policies, programs and access to treatment.

Your responses will help ACE identify gaps in arthritis care and develop evidence-based recommendations for governments, healthcare decision makers, and public and private drug plans. The findings will also provide important new Canadian evidence about the effects of arthritis on women’s employment, family responsibilities, health and quality of life. The survey is open to women living with any form of arthritis in Canada and takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. Take the National Survey on Women and Arthritis:

The National Survey on Women and Arthritis is for women living with arthritis in Canada. The Survey results will help ACE identify where arthritis care is meeting the needs of women and where critical gaps exist.
