Abstract

In this issue of The Journal of Rheumatology, Wiens et al1 describe how Indigenous people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and their unaffected first-degree relatives perceive access to healthcare services in Canada. This was a cohort study with individuals from remote communities and urbanized centers, representatives of which participated in the construction of a questionnaire to explore health accessibility.
