Purpose
The MyKidneyHealth study follows youth and their parents over a 2-year period to understand how their reports of fatigue, sleep, stress and life satisfaction change in relation to their health status.
Our goal is that in the future, more doctors will use PRO questionnaires with pediatric patients and family members to better understand patients' wellbeing and quality of life. The responses from the PROs will be used by doctors to shape and guide the patient's medical treatment.
This study includes over 200 children aged 8-21 and their parents. Your participation is helping us reach that goal!
What to expect in the MyKidneyHealth Study
Parents and youth (ages 8-21) will complete a total of 7 questionnaires over the span of 2 years. Here is our current progress!

The study is now complete! Over 90% of you have been active participants in the study over the last two years. Thank you to all of our wonderful participants!
You will also receive questionnaire reminders, gift card information, health tips and information.
Participants from US sites, here are some reminders about your ClinCards:
-
We use a generic date of birth and billing address on all of our participants' ClinCard accounts.
-
You may need the generic date of birth if you call the number on your card to set up a PIN for your card or to find out your balance.
-
You may need the generic billing address if you make an online purchase using your card.
-
If you need the generic birthdate or email address call, text or email us!
Winnipeg participants, your payments work differently:
-
Instead of a gift card, you receive a check each year you are in the study (once after completing your 12 month follow-up and once at the conclusion of the study).
-
That one check includes payment for each survey you completed over the year.
-
You can receive payment for you and your child together or separately.
-
Any questions about payment? Call, text or email!
