Here is a message for all adults with TS I received from National. I hope you will take the time to respond:

Dr. Douglas Woods and colleagues from the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, along with several members from our national TSA Medical Advisory Board, have embarked on an important and extensive data collecting project designed to gather information about the impact of tics on the lives of adults with Tourette Syndrome (TS) and Chronic Tic Disorders. If we succeed in having as many people as possible participating, responses to this very worthwhile project will allow TSA and the treating community to learn much more about a very broad range of issues relevant to having and coping with TS. Undoubtedly, this information will help us better serve our TS community’s needs.

Internet based, the survey responses are submitted anonymously, and strict confidentiality is assured. The survey will be on-line by March, 2008. Only adults (over 18) who reside in the U.S. are eligible to participate. It is estimated that completing the survey will take about an hour.

If you would like to participate, please fill out the survey connected to the following link:

A link to the survey will also be placed on the TSA’s website (www.tsa-usa.org) for your convenience. Additional information about this research and informed consent can be obtained via these links.

Please tell all your local members about this unique opportunity and urge them to consider participating.

Sincerely,

Sue Levi-Pearl, VP
