Participants will be given access to the My MS Toolkit and encouraged to start their participation via a "Getting Started" page that provides guidance on how best to use the program's modules. This is accessed online via the Internet.
Participants will be notified of their assignment to the waitlist and told that they can continue to receive or seek care as they normally would, including care from their MS health care provider. After completion of the final 4-month assessment, usual care participants will obtain access to My MS Toolkit and will be encouraged to use it.
