Here’s all the infographics together. We’re interviewing people to get a deeper understanding of these issues and will be following people up to look at how these impacts evolve over time. Stay tuned for further results!

We also asked about impacts on wider aspects linked to people's ability to manage their inflammatory arthritis. Almost everyone had experienced extra difficulties in managing their condition.

The @IACOVID19 study collected data about the impact of lockdown on treatment and symptoms. Over two-thirds reported some impact on treatment and over half reported disease activity had gotten worse.
