Brief Summary

We are interested in identifying psychological factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of anxiety in individuals with MS. We are also interested in comparing these factors to those without an illness.
Participants will be requested to fill out an online questionnaire at three different time points.
Time 1: Fill out an ~30min questionnaire.
Time 2: Full out a shorter ~15min survey (1-4 weeks after Time 1).
Time 3: Full out the ~30min questionnaire again (6 months after Time 1).
The questionnaire can be completed on the participants phone or computer.
To thank participants for their time, they will go into a raffle to receive 1 of 11 AUD$100 e-gift cards for completing both Time 1 and 2 questionnaires. They will then go into another raffle to receive 1 of 11 AUD$100 e-gift cards after also completing the Time 3 questionnaire.
Their participation is voluntary and they can stop at any time. Their data will remain confidential.
