ENACT

At the Boston University College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences at Sargent College, The Center for Enhancing Activity and Participation among Persons with Arthritis (ENACT) works to enhance the lives of people with arthritis and other rheumatic conditions such as lupus, fibromyalgia, and scleroderma through research, training, and community-based activities. ENACT strives to change the paradigm for arthritis research and intervention from a focus on disease and limitation to a focus that emphasizes active living and participation. Supporting research efforts to develop and assess how well arthritis-focused interventions work to reduce disability, promote activity and participation in life roles, and identify strategies to promote work retention is central to ENACT’s mission.
