National MS Society Launches Economic Burden Survey

September 11, 2020

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has significant financial and social impacts on people with MS and their families. To better understand these impacts, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is partnering with the Lewin Group to field important survey that looks at expenses incurred by people affected by MS. These costs are important considerations in healthcare decision-making that could impact patients’ access to medicines or other healthcare services.

This is a confidential survey and the individual data will not be distributed beyond the economic impact research team. Summary level results from the survey will be published and the results of this survey will be used in discussions with policymakers to advocate for policies to improve the lives of people with MS and their families and may help inform future Society initiatives. The survey should take approximately 35 minutes to complete and must be completed by October 8th, 2020. You can save your progress and return later with the URL provided when you save.
