Abstract
This project examined the association between depressive symptoms and disease outcomes in Hispanic adults with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) symptoms (n=83) and whether an official RA diagnosis moderated this association. Participants that lacked an official disease diagnosis and reported higher depression symptoms also reported worse RA outcomes.
