FAQ
What will you do with my information?
Enrolment in the study will require both you and your partner (if he is available) to sign consent forms. All information you provide will be kept strictly confidential by giving you and your child a coded number so that you are not identifiable. No other researchers will have access to your information without your written consent, and no material or information related to you or your child will be released without your consent unless required by law. If the research reveals information of potential importance to the health of your child or your family we will contact you to help you receive medical advice.
Do I get to find out what the results are?
At various times throughout the study, we will provide you with plain language summaries of what we are finding, maintaining your privacy by reporting only group information. We will also have group feedback sessions for members of your community on the views of parents and the issues that should be discussed at community or government levels. We will also be conducting an annual seminar in the Peel Region by eminent child health researchers to provide the most current research knowledge on child health and development back to the local community.
