There are 3 main reasons the researchers are doing this study: 1) to test how easy it is for people with spondyloarthritis to use the RENEW program; 2) to assess whether people like the RENEW program and 3) to understand if it helps with symptom management and disease burden.

We will use telehealth platforms (like Zoom) for these calls. We will record them so we can track how well the peer health coaches are following the program. Each call will last no more than 30 minutes.
