CreakyJoints Survey:
Does Race Matter in Your Disease Care
On behalf of CreakyJoints, we would like to thank you for your participation in our CreakyJoints survey on how race matters in disease care. The results of this survey will help in many ways, including the development of educational content on how race continues to affect the diagnosis, treatment, and care of black people, people of color, and indigenous people.
