Detailed Description: An internet-based arthritis self-management program was developed based on the widely used small-group arthritis self-management program Individuals with arthritis were recruited via established websites on-line newsletters discussion groups calendar announcements and articles in newspapers and asked to go to the project website Subjects who filled out an informed consent and met all of the following criteria were invited to enroll
