| Summary | This study sought to evaluate educational and promotional outreach activities to general neurologists and to increase self-enrollment of PALS in the National ALS Registry. Neurologists could be the appropriate channel to distribute Registry information to patients, but they are not the appropriate resource to assist patients with self-enrollment. However, engaging the support staff of busy specialists can help increase research response rates and information distribution. The lessons learned from this project can be applied to other rare conditions and disease specialists. |
