Studying side effects of medicines in children
This study follows children who take medicines to better understand what causes side effects. It also looks at family history and genetics to see who may be more likely to have an adverse reaction, and it checks findings using adults.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be under 19 years old and have taken a medicine
- Have had or be connected to a child who had a medicine side effect (adverse drug reaction)
- Have a biological parent who can participate if the child had a side effect
- Speak and understand English (except if you live in Quebec)
- Adults may also be included to help confirm the results in children

This study helps doctors use genetic (pharmacogenomic) testing to choose which medicines may work best and cause fewer side effects. You may join if your child’s doctor is considering certain common medicines, such as pain, antibiotic, or mental health medications.
This study looks at your genes to see how they might affect how your body processes many medications. You may be a good fit if you take five or more different medicines and want to help researchers learn more about personalized medicine.
This study measures how children’s bodies handle medicines they are already prescribed as standard care. It may help doctors choose safer, more accurate doses for children in the future.
This trial uses computers and multiple experts to study adverse drug reactions. They want to compare how well machines and humans can predict a dangerous reaction. If you have had a confirmed bad reaction to a medicine, your case may help improve future safety.
This study looks at how your genes affect the way your body handles medications. It aims to improve treatment by understanding genetic differences, especially if you take multiple medications.
This study tests whether the way side effects are explained to children and parents affects how many side effects are reported. It may help children aged 7 to 17 who are starting ADHD medication for the first time.
