Dr. Leonard Jason's group at dePaul University in Chicago has started
a new study to better define what the criteria for ME/CFS should be.
It consists of a questionnaire that will seek to find out which of the
current criteria a person best fits into.=A0 There are two master's
degree students who will be carrying out this study.=A0 At the recent
Ottawa conference of the IACFS/ME, he asked me if I would help to
publicize the study.
I have known Dr. Jason for several years.=A0 He is a psychologist and an
epidemiologist, and he and his group have made major contributions to
our understanding of ME/CFS.=A0 I encourage people with ME/CFS to
volunteer to participate in this study.=A0 It will involve responding to
their questionnaire, and my understanding is that it will be possible
for those who participate to find out their individual results in
terms of how they match the alternative criteria.
To get the details, you can contact the team by email at
DePaulMECFSResearch@gmail.com=A0(DePaulMECFSResearch @ gmail.com)=A0=A0 You
can also contact them by phone at the number below.=A0 This is an
opportunity to help to develop more focused criteria for ME/CFS, which
will ultimately help to enable more focused research and better
diagnosis, which is in the interest of all of us.
