Are you a Black or African American adult living with multiple sclerosis (MS)? We’re looking for participants to join the Targeted Exercise for African Americans with Multiple Sclerosis (TEAAMS) study.

This research aims to explore whether a 16-week, home-based exercise program tailored specifically for Black/African Americans with MS can improve walking difficulties, ease symptoms, and enhance quality of life for those living in the South.

You may qualify if you:
• Are between 18 and 64 years old
• Have been diagnosed with MS
• Self-identify as Black or African American
• Live in the Southern United States

What’s involved?
• A personalized exercise program you can do at home
• Personalized support from a coach throughout the program
• Compensation of $90 for completing all study visits
