Understanding Minority Multiple Sclerosis Patient Preferences for Research Participation
ACTRIMS 2018 Poster Presentation
As a member of the Minority Research Network for Multiple Sclerosis, I conducted a study on the various levels of online research network participation and minority perspectives on participation. The objectives were to understand diverse patient views of research studies, what encourages/discourages them from participation, and and identifying key factors to encourage participation. The poster was presented at the 2018 Americas Conference for Research and Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis and I was awarded a Student Grant for participation.
