As you know, the Sjögren’s Foundation is committed to creating a community where patients, healthcare professionals, and researchers come together to conquer the complexities of Sjögren’s.

Thanks to the support of our members and donors, the Foundation has been able to develop a new comprehensive Living with Sjögren’s patient survey, which many of you may remember from 2016.

The objective of this survey is to gain insight and to better understand the experiences of Sjögren’s patients, including the wide range of symptoms and their impact on your lives.

This survey, designed in collaboration with The Harris Poll and a volunteer committee with a range of expertise in the disease, will help the Foundation:

  • Provide researchers with valuable information about the variety and severity of what Sjögren’s patients experience
  • Create greater awareness in the Sjögren’s community at-large
  • Educate regulatory agencies and pharmaceutical companies about the need for new and systemic therapeutics for Sjögren’s

We are asking you today to please consider taking part in this study to help us address these important needs.

If you choose to take part in this research, please be assured that your answers are completely confidential and that the results of this study will be a reflection of the group as a whole, so no individual would be identifiable from the results.

Please note, Sjögren’s Foundation members should have received a single-use link via email between October 13 and 14. If you are not a Sjögren’s Foundation member and would like to participate, please use the link provided below and please provide answers based on your own personal experience.
