JIA Awareness Week Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Awareness Week (JIA AW) is a campaign created by NRAS to raise awareness of the condition and eliminate misconceptions by educating and informing friends, family, schools, employers of those with JIA and the general population about what juvenile idiopathic arthritis truly is. What is JIA Awareness Week? The campaign is to raise awareness of the condition and eliminate these misconceptions by educating and informing friends, family, schools, employers of those with JIA and the general population about what juvenile idiopathic arthritis truly is. JIA is very different to osteoarthritis (OA) in that it can strike at any age under 16 and around half of those diagnosed each year will have it for life. It is an auto-immune disease, which is a key differentiating factor to OA and means that in addition to joints, it can affect organs such as the eyes. There are very serious consequences to getting a late diagnosis or a lack of targeted appropriate treatment. JIA Awareness Week 2023 Read about our 2023 campaign, #BustingJIAMyths.
