To be eligible for study inclusion, participants were required to be aged between 18 and 65 years, diagnosed with MS for at least 2 years, and currently taking medication for MS. Older women, i.e., those in the 45–65 years' bracket, were included in the sample to ensure that the study had a retrospective view of their family planning decisions to compliment those of younger participants. Patients were also required to have no affiliation with pharmaceutical companies or not to have participated in similar research studies within the past 3 months before study entry. To be included in the analysis of study results, participants were required to have answered ≥ 80% of survey questions (18).
