Brief summary

Are you, or do you care for, a person with multiple sclerosis who has experienced unstable housing, family violence, or difficulty paying for food or bills? Researchers from The University of Melbourne invite people with MS and carers of people with MS to participate in focus groups or one-on-one interviews to explore how we can better identify social needs in MS care.

🕒 The online focus group will take approximately 75-90 minutes and participants will receive a $120 voucher. Interviews will take 45-60 minutes and participants will receive a $65 voucher.
