The Australian MS Longitudinal Study (AMSLS) is a survey-based research study that has been running since 2001 and now has over 3000 people completing research surveys each year. The study is designed to provide real life data about MS, which can be used by all MS medical and support services to effect change for the better for those with MS, their families and carers.
The AMSLS is one of MS Australia’s collaborative research platforms. The Study is a partnership between MS Australia and the Menzies Institute for Medical Research (University of Tasmania) and all projects are approved by the AMSLS steering committee, which includes representatives from people with MS, the MS state organisations, MS nurses, neurologists and MS Australia.
We encourage all Australians with MS over 18 years of age to register with the study and share their story. Enquiries from researchers wishing to collaborate or utilise this research platform are also welcome.
