Dr. Douglas Woods and colleagues from the University of Wisconsin –
Milwaukee, along with several members from our national TSA Medical
Advisory Board, have embarked on an important and extensive data
collecting project designed to gather information about the impact of
tics on the lives of adults with Tourette Syndrome (TS) and Chronic
Tic Disorders. If we succeed in having as many people as possible
participating, responses to this very worthwhile project will allow
TSA and the treating community to learn much more about a very broad
range of issues relevant to having and coping with TS. Undoubtedly,
this information will help us better serve our TS community's needs.



Internet based, the survey responses are submitted anonymously, and
strict confidentiality is assured. Only adults (over 18) who reside
in the U.S. are eligible to participate. It is estimated that
completing the survey will take about an hour.



If you would like to participate, please fill out the survey
connected to the following link:

The survey can also be accessed from TSA's website: http://tsa-
usa.org



A child version of the survey will be on-line in the near future and
will also be accessible through TSA's website.



Please tell all your local members about this unique opportunity and
urge them to consider participating.



Sincerely,
