Patients enrolled in the NIAMS protocol Natural History or Rheumatic Disease in Minority Communities protocol 01-AR-0227 may participate in this study Participants will be evaluated at the NIAMS Community Health Center at the Upper Cardozo Health Center in Washington DC
Participants will be interviewed about individual and community health behavior and health beliefs about rheumatic disease and its effects on several areas of their life including mood and physical activity The interview will be in one of the following formats 1 in-depth cognitive interview 2 focus group or 3 face-to-face interview as follows
In-Depth Cognitive Interview
Participants take part in a one-time interview conducted by one investigator observed by another and tape recorded The interview lasts from 1 to 2 hours
Focus Groups
Participants take part in a group interview of from 6 to 10 people during a one-time tape-recorded session that lasts from 2 to 2-12 hours The group discussion is led by a moderator and a facilitator who takes notes and makes observations

Detailed Description:
Rheumatic diseases are among the most common health problems in the United States They are a diverse group of disorders with several shared characteristics Marked differences in the incidence prevalence severity processes of care and outcomes in a number of rheumatic conditions exist among racial and ethnic groups as compared to white Americans Furthermore access to health care and treatment also differs in the minority community as compared with the majority
The effects of the disease may be modifiable by changes in life style diet activities and exercise Such changes are difficult for patients to accomplish and various strategies have been developed to facilitate success Strategies include educational materials and programs diet and exercise programs patient support and empowerment programs and the like Differences in culture and environment lack of culturally sensitive materials and approaches and lack of trained personnel may make these tools ineffective in the minority community Their effectiveness in the African-American or Latino clinic population has not been assessed to date
This is a descriptive exploratory study designed to examine the diverse health beliefs and behaviors among the minority patients who are enrolled in the NIAMS Natural History of Rheumatic Disease in Minority Communities protocol 01-AR-0227 Qualitative and quantitative methodology will be used to assess the psychosocial and cultural correlates of rheumatic diseases in newly enrolled patients both at intake and after six months of being followed at the NIAMS Community Health Center an outreach site located in the District of Columbia in the Upper Cardozo Health Center
