Online surveys

  1. Early Menstrual Pain Experiences (EMPE) Study
    What: In our EMPE study we are aiming to conduct the largest Canadian longitudinal research study with youth to understand how period pain pain develop over time. We are tracking pre-teens and teens from prior to the start of their 1st period over 3 years. Participation involves completing an annual survey as well as monthly period diaries. Parents and youth are asked to complete surveys. We understand the commitment that longitudinal research studies involve and compensate participants for their participation throughout all study phases. Annual surveys are compensated ($25 to each the parent and the youth) and completion of monthly diaries results in an entry into regular draws for $50 gift cards.
    Who: Females aged 10-13 and one of their parents.
