What parents are saying about participating in the School Kids Health Project


“The School KIDS program is amazing! It benefits both researchers and the participants. The paperwork is simple to complete and the emails I receive are short and concise regarding the information. The questionnaires are also quick to fill out My 6 year old daughter was excited to earn money to do the nose swabs. She even does it herself! The option to drop off an at home sample at Children's Mercy hospital Northland location is a breeze. The swabs at school are very easy and last less than one minute. It does not interrupt class and the staff is friendly! I highly recommend the School KIDS program to continue to collect data on illnesses in a way that benefits both parties involved!"
