Better representation

These organizations work to improve our understanding of MS prevalence, disease course, response to therapy and more:

• The National African Americans with MS Registry works to better estimate how many Black people have MS and where they live. The registry also tracks barriers to care and strategies to undo inequities of access.
• The Food and Drug Administration encourages people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds to participate in clinical trials since some may react differently to medications than others.
