Description

For persons who have ever had arthritis or rheumatism in the past 12 months and who are currently seeing at least three other persons who provide care for their arthritis, ARTHCARE3HR reports the amount of time (in hours) that it took the person to get to the place of the third other person who provides care for his/her arthritis.

Users should combine ARTHCARE3HR with ARTHCARE3MI, which reports the amount of time in minutes, to get the complete amount of time (in hours and minutes) that it takes to get to the place of the third other person for care.
