An international team of researchers led out of UQ want to hear what you think is important to research about shoulder osteoarthritis. Despite shoulder OA impacting many Australians and New Zealanders and causing significant pain, not much is known about it.

To improve the care and everyday life of people with shoulder osteoarthritis, researchers want to find out what you think is important to research. Take the survey to have your say about the future of shoulder osteoarthritis research. 

What does it involve?

  • A short survey, takes approximately 5-10 minutes
  • Writing 1-5 questions you think are important for future shoulder osteoarthritis research to answer.
  • Sharing a bit about yourself like your age, gender.
