Living with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)

Published May 2022, US report

"Living with Ankylosing Spondylitis" is a syndicated patient report which offers low-cost, high-value quantitative insight into patient attitudes and behaviour.

We recognise pharma brands need access to unique insights if they are to develop effective products and treatments and relevant communications messages. Living with AS is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the AS disease patient journey, from diagnosis through treatment and ongoing management, unveiling patients attitudes, needs and treatment programmes.

Gain an in-depth understanding of:

  • The diagnosis pathway from the perspective of patients
  • Patient attitudes to their condition and the impact on their lives
  • Treatments taken and satisfaction levels
  • Attitudes and behaviors with regard to switching and adherence
  • Attitudes to interactions with healthcare professionals, and presentation history
  • What patients are currently doing to cope with their condition
  • Patient wishes and unmet needs
  • Patients’ sources of information and use of digital tools, such as apps and social media
