The aim of this project is to use a co-design study to inform the development of an internet-based intervention for depression targeting individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). We will run co-design/focus groups or individual interviews with individuals with MS, health professionals who treat individuals with MS and carers of those with MS. We aim to investigate what content and design elements of the internet-intervention better matches the needs and preferences of individuals with MS with depression. Each participant will receive a $30 e-gift voucher for taking part in the focus group or interview.
