Researchers can easily overlook the complexity and capriciousness of living with a chronic disease, reducing the meaning of life experiences to abstract themes and models.

The European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) is the organisation which represents the patient, health professional and
scientific societies of rheumatology of all the European nations. EULAR endeavours to stimulate, promote, and support the research, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of rheumatic diseases. In line with UEMS, EULAR defines rheumatology as including rheumatic diseases of the connective tissue, locomotor and musculoskeletal systems.

Development and validation of the Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease (PsAID) questionnaire.
A 13-country EULAR initiative
New, short questionnaire to better assess all patient-perceived impact of PsA
Both for clinical practice as well as for clinical trials
Developed with patient-partners

Patient involvement should be considered in every phase of the research process
Patient involvement should be considered on multiple levels
The role of the principal investigator is key in enabling patients to contribute to the research
