Caregivers of Spouses/Partners with MS Study
–
Researchers at the University at Albany, SUNY are recruiting anyone who is the
spouse/romantic partner of someone with MS to learn more about these special
caregivers. Spouses/partners of someone with MS who provide any care, and
can take a brief, anonymous survey are eligible. The survey will take
about 40 minutes to complete. Participants can enter to win a prize.
Participation may ultimately help to explain how MS affects couples and lead to
improved support for spousal/partner caregivers.

Young Caregivers Study – An investigator at Towson
University is conducting a research study investigating the effects of early
caregiving experiences on adult mental and physical health. Individuals
recruited for this study are U.S. citizens aged 18 years or older who have provided
hands-on care (i.e., bathing, dressing, feeding, medications, etc.) to a
parent or adult relative when the caregiver was under 18 years old, or is
currently caregiving for a parent or adult relative while between the ages of
18 and 25. The study requirements include a three-minute phone or email
interview to determine qualifications, and, for those who qualify, a packet of
questionnaires on early caregiver experiences, and adult mental and physical
health, which is mailed to participants’ homes. Participants will be
compensated for completing the questionnaire packet.
