What does participation in the study entail?
Completion of a one-time survey. This survey is anonymous, asking only country of practice. No other identifying information is requested.
What are the potential benefits for participants?
The results of this study will inform the greater ataxia community about the international prevalence of various hereditary ataxias by country of clinical care. Further, analysis of prescribing habits will allow clinicians to learn from each other and potentially improve patient outcomes.
What are the potential risks for participants?
There is no active intervention being performed and therefore no risk to participants.
Is there financial compensation?
No.
Is there travel reimbursement?
No.
Who is eligible?
Any clinician caring for patients with ataxia is eligible to take this survey.
