Collating the Voice of people living with Autoimmune Diseases (CoVAD 3) Survey

The CoVAD team comprises a group of physician-scientists undertaking a project to determine patients’ subjective well-being. By assessing these, we aim to understand your life holistically including factors influencing life satisfaction. These answers will help physicians understand the healthcare interventions needed to improve the lives of people living with chronic diseases.

If you are over 18 years of age, we would be grateful for fifteen minutes of your precious time to respond to this survey. You may fill out the survey at once or exit and re-enter the survey to complete it in parts at your convenience.

Both patients with autoimmune or rheumatic disease and healthy individuals can take this survey. If you are a patient with an autoimmune or rheumatic disease, we encourage you to ask the healthy members of your family and friends to take this survey as well.
The data collected from this survey will be used for publication in peer-reviewed journals.

This survey was approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) or ethics committee (SGPGIMS, Lucknow) which governs the appropriateness of the conduct of this survey.

Your responses will be kept confidential and anonymous and will be stored securely with the Chief Investigator of the study. Any responses you provide will be anonymized, so that neither the research team nor additional respondents will know which is yours.
