As part of the Our Health in Our Hands (OHIOH) project, researchers at the Australian National University and Sydney Adventist Hospital (the SAN) are working together to improve the clinical management and overall health and wellbeing of people living with multiple sclerosis (MS).
In the ACT-Sydney MS Cohort study, we are recruiting people with MS as well as people who do not have MS. We aim to have a similar distribution of age and sex across the two groups and collect new data each year to see changes over time. By collecting data over time in people with MS and people who do not have MS, we will be able to compare the two groups to answer questions about health and wellbeing, how that changes over time, and whether and how having MS affects health and how this changes over time.
