Over the course of the summer, we asked visitors to the Ontario Science Centre to join in a study of the genetics of obsessive, compulsive, and attentional traits.
Visitors were provided information about the risks and benefits of participation before giving written consent.
The data we collected is anonymous in all cases and there is no possibility that the scientists/researchers or anyone else can link genetic or behavioural data with a particular person.
Data was encrypted (given a "secret code" so that it's imcomprehensible to people not authorized to access the data) before being transferred to the Hospital for Sick Children, where analysis is currently taking place.
The project is approved by the Research Ethics Board of the Hospital for Sick Children and is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Department of Psychiatry, the Hospital for Sick Children, Endowment Fund.
We plan to present the results of data analyses at several scientific meetings and in scientifc journals after peer review. In no case will any specific individuals be identified. The principal investigators of this study are Dr. Russell Schachar, Dr. Paul Arnold, Dr. Jennifer Crosbie and Dr. Andrew Paterson.
