New CIHR-funded Burden of Inherited Neuromuscular Disease (BIND) Study: Assessing the Indirect Socio-Economic Burden of Inherited Neuromuscular Diseases
Led by NMD4C steering committee member Dr. Jodi Warman Chardon, this project has been awarded $449,030 over a 3-year period. The project’s goal is to assess the social and economic burden of Canadians living with neuromuscular disorders by using web-based surveys to assess quality-of-life, healthcare resource use, work productivity, and effect on schooling and careers.
Please share this study opportunity with those affected by NMDs and their families within your network! More information about this project is available at https://omc.ohri.ca/BIND/.
