Study seeks participants with relapsing MS who have stopped using disease-modifying medication

Do you have relapsing-remitting MS?  Do you choose not to take medication to prevent flare-ups?  If so, researchers at Kessler Foundation are looking for you! You are NOT required to take disease-modifying treatments to be part of this study. Instead, we are interested in learning about your reactions to telephone counseling. Compensation: $200.

Our goal is to understand why some patients with MS choose not to take medication. Each participant will undergo a baseline evaluation consisting of pencil-and-paper tests and questionnaires lasting approximately 1½ hours.  Following this, participants will complete five 20-minute telephone conversations about MS medications. Finally, participants will complete additional questionnaires at home at the completion of the study. To be eligible, participants must: (1) be diagnosed with a relapsing form of MS; and (2) have discontinued taking a disease-modifying medication.
