Inclusion criteria included Indigenous identity with a physician diagnosis of RA and being 18 years old or older. Based on the guideline for involving participants for SDM tool development [18], participants were recruited until saturation was reached. Two cohorts of patients were recruited for this iterative adaptation.

The first cohort included patients recruited from three urban rheumatology clinics that provide services to Indigenous patients in Alberta, Canada. Two of these clinics were general rheumatology clinics, and the third was a specialty rheumatology clinic located in an urban Indigenous primary healthcare center.

The second cohort was recruited uniquely through the specialty rheumatology clinic located at the urban Indigenous primary healthcare center.
