Researchers at the University of Washington invite people with multiple sclerosis to participate in a survey to better understand experiences with stress, coping, and health in people with multiple sclerosis. Chronic illness is often accompanied by increased stress and can lead to health difficulties. While studies have previously explored the relationship between chronic illness and distress, few studies have studied these experiences comprehensively alongside factors such as stigma and coping. By completing this survey, you can help to understand how to improve the health and well-being of people with multiple sclerosis.
The survey will take about 60-90 minutes to complete, and you can take breaks and return later. The survey will ask you to provide contact and demographic information, as well as information about your mental and physical health and your experiences with stress. The researchers will keep this information confidential.
Inclusion Criteria: You must be at least 18 years old, you must have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis by a medical provider, and you must be able to read and answer questions in English
