ALS Focus is a patient- and caregiver-led survey program that asks people with ALS and current and past caregivers about their needs and challenges. The goal is to learn as much as possible about individual experiences throughout the disease journey so that the whole ALS community can benefit.
All data collected is de-identified and shared free of charge with the entire ALS community.
People with ALS, current and past caregivers are eligible to participate, please sign up for ALS Focus here .
