The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if peer coaching works to reduce levels of anxiety and/or depression in adults diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). The main questions it aims to answer are: Do people with RA who complete the intervention with a peer coach have lower levels of anxiety and/or depression at 6 months from baseline? Do people with RA who complete the intervention with a peer coach have lower levels of anxiety and/or depression at 6 months compared to those in the control arm? Researchers will compare the peer coaching intervention to an active-control arm (where people without RA coach participants on general health and nutrition topics) to see if peer coaching works to reduce anxiety and/or depression. Participants will meet with a coach every week for 9 weeks and complete several surveys before, during and after the intervention

The method that will be used in this trial will be peer coaching. Peer coaches are lay individuals who themselves have the targeted chronic condition, that for the purpose of this study is people with RA, allowing people to identify with their peers and increase confidence that they too can achieve favorable outcomes. They will use components of CBT, mindfulness, and exercise material that have been effective in improving mental and physical health in patients with RA. The Healthier intervention is distinct from these others because it focuses on a high-priority symptom experienced by people with RA: chronic pain. It mobilizes a behavior that impacts numerous dimensions beyond pain, including mobility, mood, cardiovascular health, and mortality.
Participants in the active comparator arm will have telephone calls with a coach that does not have rheumatoid arthritis and who will deliver a nine-session intervention on general health topics that are widely available including topics on nutrition and cancer awareness. These coaches will not use CBT, mindfulness or make any references to exercise or physical activity.
