We are looking for children and youth between the ages of 7 - 17 to take part in our exciting research! Our study is located at the Ontario Science Centre, and we are there every day until Labour Day weekend. To date, we have had over 300 kids and teens participate! Help us reach our goal of 10,000 participants by visiting us over the summer.
What's involved?
We ask children to complete a task on the computer, while parents fill out a computerized behavioural questionnaire about their child. After finishing the computer activity, children are asked to "spit for science" by spitting into a small plastic container. The whole process takes only about 20 minutes, and kids and teens who participate get to earn a prize!
Here is a picture of the saliva collection kits we are using -- isn't it amazing to see all the different types of equipment involved in science?!
