Study Description

The proposed trial will be embedded within clinical care. This is a 2-year interventional trial that will enroll patients with active psoriatic arthritis despite stable therapy among three centers (the University of Pennsylvania, University of Utah, and University of Oxford). The intervention employs PsOWellTM, a program that trains clinicians to utilize motivational interviewing to help patients set goals and make lifestyle/behavior changes for holistic management of psoriasis.
