Managing MS Distress: A Research Study for People with MS and Their Support Partners

We are conducting a research study to help people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and their support partners learn skills for reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety and improving quality of life. Support partners can include significant others, friends, and family members. We are recruiting people with MS and their support partners to participate in this study together.

This is a Johns Hopkins IRB-approved research study (IRB #: IRB00199623). For additional information, please see the flyers and postings attached.
