Treatment with medicines for children and teenagers  with mental problems

We invite you to answer five questions. These questions can be answered by a parent, or by a child or teenager (up to the age of 18) with help from a parent, or both – once by a parent and once by the child or teenager.
We are a European group of experts in medicines for children and teenagers with mental problems (https://rb.gy/udvlbi). We are doing a research on the medicines for children and teenagers with mental problems. We would like to know what patients and parents think about medicines for mental problems in children and teenagers.
You have received this invitation because the president of one of the groups we contacted has agreed to send you this invitation.
If you wish to help us, it will take about 10-15 minutes to answer the five questions.  We will not know who you are  (the survey is completely anonymous).
If you decide to answer the questions, you will not receive any money or other benefits. However, your participation will help us understand what patients or parents think.
We do not expect that answering these questions will cause any problem to you. But if you feel uncomfortable, you can stop whenever you wish and contact your doctor if you don’t feel OK.
