Contact your local CHILD site coordinator today to get started!

Congratulations & thank you!

To thank the wonderful families partipating in CHILD, in early 2024 we hosted our first-ever Winter Giveaway Contest!

  • Eight prizes were given away at each study site (five prizes for CHILD youth, three prizes for CHILD parents), and
  • One grand prize was awarded at the national level.

To win prizes by draw in the Giveaway, families earned raffle tickets by undertaking Study-related activities (like booking and attending a CHILD clinic visit, completing questionnaires, or submitting biological samples). The more activities completed, the more entries in the draw.

Even though not every family won a prize, every family’s ongoing commitment and their every act of participation in the Study is deeply appreciated!

NOTE: For the youth draws only: in case you are only interested in certain prizes and not others, you will have the opportunity to select which prize(s) you would like your entries to go towards. A survey link will be sent to you via email to capture your preferences once you begin earning entries. Please share your preferences with us before the contest end date. If you do not indicate a prize preference, CHILD staff will apply your entries to prizes at random.

How do you participate in the contest?

Every CHILD family can gain entries (raffle tickets) for these draws in the following ways:

  • Book a CHILD clinic visit: 3 entries
  • Complete a CHILD clinic visit (in-person or virtual): 1 entry
  • Complete 4 or more child/youth questionnaires: 1 entry
  • Complete 6 or more parent questionnaires: 1 entry (this is for the parent prizes!)

You can gain entries by taking these actions up until 28 April 2024.
NOTE: For the youth draws only: in case you are only interested in certain prizes and not others, you will have the opportunity to select which prize(s) you would like your entries to go towards. A survey link will be sent to you via email to capture your preferences once you begin earning entries. Please share your preferences with us before the contest end date. If you do not indicate a prize preference, CHILD staff will apply your entries to prizes at random.

Everyone in the Study can participate!

If you have already taken any of these actions, you will have already earned entries.

If the CHILD youth in your family is too young (under 11 years and 9 months of age) to complete their clinic visit or to submit their biological samples, they can still earn entries by booking their visit and completing questionnaires.

For families with youth of age to complete visits and submit samples (11y 9m and up):

  • all actions apply
  • potential to gain 6 entries for youth + 1 entry for parent
  • total potential entries: 7

For families with youth NOT of age to complete visits and submit samples (under 11y 9m):

  • visit booking and questionnaire completion apply
  • potential to gain 4 entries for youth + 1 entry for parent
  • total potential entries: 5

For families who already completed their 13Y visits:

  • all actions apply
  • potential to gain 6 entries for youth + 1 entry for parent
  • total potential entries: 7

Book a visit: 3 entries

Complete a visit: 1 entry

Complete questionnaires: up to 2 entries

Submit biological samples: 1 entry

When is this all happening?

It’s already begun!

Every applicable action you have already completed has already gained you entries into the contest.
