Myositis International Health & Research Collaborative Alliance Foundation
Myositis diseases are each rare diseases. As in other rare diseases, people living with myositis diseases face physical and psychosocial challenges that may not be recognized in current research priorities. The PRISMS study is a global investigation that collects patient perspectives through (mostly online) methods of open-ended questions, community forums and survey to identify the most pressing research concerns as identified by patients. Findings will be analyzed to create a patient-voiced set of research priorities that can guide the direction of research and help inform funding decisions across myositis diseases.

No intervention - qualitative and mixed methods investigations
This is a patient-initiated observational qualitative (largely online) study engaging people living with myositis diseases (and optionally their care partners) in mixed methods applications to elicit patient-voiced research priorities. Participants will be purposively sampled to ensure representation across myositis subtypes and key demographic/clinical characteristics. Methods include open-ended narratives, interactive focus groups and forums, rating and ranking to establish degree of importance and priorities. Results will include a structured set of patient-voiced priority topics/questions and a draft framework for downstream consensus processes and research agenda setting.
