ARHMS needs you! Participation is easy!

​

Why get involved?

In the past, many healthcare professionals believed that MS was uncommon in the Hispanic/Latino population. However, recent studies, lead primarily by the ARHMS researchers, suggest an increase in the number of people throughout Latin America who have MS. ARHMS is looking to better understand unique characteristics of MS in this population and the need for more accessible and culturally relevant healthcare and social services. Understanding genetic and clinical differences between ethnic groups can yield important clues to the cause of MS.

​

Who can participate?

Anyone that self identifies as Hispanic/Latina and carries a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis can join our research.

​

What's Involved?

In order to learn more about Multiple Sclerosis in Hispanics, we are collecting patient's medical histories, examining medical records, and collecting blood samples and questionnaires. This is done through an in-office visit.
