Episode 147: Racial Disparities in MS Care with Dr. Jackie Bhattarai

Over the past several weeks, the United States has been forced to re-visit, re-examine, and reconsider its own history of racial inequality. This difficult but necessary national conversation has been driven by instances of racial injustice that have their origins in much broader systemic or institutional racism. Our conversations on RealTalk MS typically focus on multiple sclerosis research and multiple sclerosis care. So how does the subject of racial inequality find its way onto today's episode?

My guest is Dr. Jackie Bhattarai, a clinical psychologist and Assistant Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Dr. Bhattarai's research is focused on identifying and understanding the causes of racial disparities in multiple sclerosis care. I think you'll find our conversation thought-provoking, maybe surprising and, I hope, concerning. We're also inviting you to this week's International Progressive MS Alliance global webcast when an international panel of MS experts will share the progress being made to speed the development of life-changing treatments for progressive MS. Our experts will also update us on the experiences of people living with MS who have contracted COVID-19, and how people with MS can minimize their risks during the pandemic. We'll tell you about a new National Institutes of Health grant aimed at determining the reliability of a proposed biomarker for MS. And we'll share the sobering results of a new study about MS and depression. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
