Researchers at Monash University are undertaking a study to understand the physical health and psychological, sexual and socioeconomic wellbeing of Australian midlife women living with MS.  The team wants to assess the contribution of common midlife circumstances, including the impact of menopause, on the quality of life of women living with MS. Surprisingly very little is known about this.

This study involves answering an online survey that will take between about 30-45 minutes to complete. The survey is hosted by Roy Morgan Research on behalf of Monash University.   You will have the option to complete the survey in one sitting, or across multiple sittings if needed.

• All women aged between 40-69 currently living in Australia
• Must have a diagnosis of MS made by a neurologist (All forms of MS)

• Women outside of the above age range
• Women not currently living in Australia
• Women who do not have MS
• Women who are unable to read or understand English sufficiently to answer the written survey questions
