Safe and Reliable Lifestyle Management Programs
The Osteoarthritis Action Alliance (OAAA) is focused on supporting people living with OA. One of the ways we do this is by offering information about safe and reliable lifestyle management programs for people with arthritis.  These lifestyle management programs are found in many local communities and are great tools that can help you take control of your diagnosis, while also connecting you to a group of individuals who understand what you are going through. There are a variety lifestyle management programs available, but which are scientifically-supported so that you can be sure that your invested time is worth it?
In the past year, the OAAA created a review process that evaluates Arthritis-Appropriate Evidence-Based Interventions (AAEBIs). This process includes an in-depth review by experts in the fields of AAEBIs, program evaluation, and program implementation. Each program is thoroughly analyzed so you can be sure that no matter what intervention you choose, you have the opportunity to succeed!
 You can easily navigate to the ‘Arthritis Interventions (AAEBI)’ tab on the OAAA homepage to see the list of lifestyle management programs which are currently recognized. Options range from group and in-person physical activity programs to self-management educational programs. Visit oaaction.unc.edu/aaebi to learn more.
Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective. Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that’s precise, predictive and reliable – a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional.
