Feasibility and Acceptability of PREVAIL (PREserving Valued Activities In Life)
Sponsor: University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the PREVAIL model of care is a feasible way to integrate rehabilitation into routine rheumatology care for adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The model of care consists of three essential components: a screening tool (Daily Activity and Participation Screen (DAPS)), a recommendation to the rheumatology clinician regarding rehabilitation referral and exercise, and an online exercise resource tailored for adults with RA. Participants will complete baseline assessments before their scheduled routine visit with a rheumatology clinician, attend their visit, receive their exercise and/or rehabilitation recommendation, and complete follow-up assessments roughly three months after their visit. Based on a participant's DAPS score, they may be recommended to complete a brief consultation call with a study physical therapist, who may or may not refer them to physical therapy (PT). Participants may also be asked to elaborate on their experience with the PREVAIL model of care in an interview.

Interventions
PREVAIL model of care
Components 1, 2, and 3 are essential components that all participants will receive. Components 4 and 5 are based on the results of either the DAPS tool or the PT consultation call. 1. Screening tool (DAPS) completed at baseline to determine current level of limitation with valued life activities. 2. Recommendation to rheumatology clinician based on screening results to provide exercise resource and/or recommend a PT consult call during routine visit. 3. Exercise resource (PREVAIL website) provided to all participants by their rheumatology clinician at their routine visit. 4. Brief consultation call with a study physical therapist to determine level of priority for PT referral. Only applicable for those with/at risk for limitation with valued life activities. 5. Referral to PT. Only applicable if determined by study physical therapist to meet priority requirements.
