Considerations for Designing an Epidemiologic Study for Multiple Sclerosis and Other Neurologic Disorders in Pre and Post 9/11 Gulf War Veterans
Committee on Designing and Epidemiologic Study for Multiple Sclerosis and Other Neurologic Disorders in Veterans of the Persian Gulf and Post 9/11 Wars; Board on the Health of Select Populations; Institute of Medicine; National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
In January 2015, the Institute of Medicine conducted a study to determine the incidence and prevalence, as well as the risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neurologic diseases as a result of service in the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf and post 9/11 Global Operations theaters. The other neurologic diseases to be considered include: Parkinson's disease, and brain cancers, as well as central nervous system abnormalities that are difficult to precisely diagnose. This report presents the committee's data collection and findings.
