CommuniKIDS team was thrilled to share the finalized trial results template and “tip sheet” They hope that the template which was developed together will be used widely and will be helpful to youth and their families after participating in a clinical trial. This was officially launched on the CTO website this Friday, May 20^th, 2022 on International Clinical Trials Day, where trialists will be able to download the template for their own use to communicate trial results back to youth and their families. They expect it to be available in french by the summer of 2022. They acknowledge and thank those who provided input including 5 youth advisors, Allison, Chloe, Jessica, Rhys, and Samarah, and 8 parent advisors, including Katrina Hill, Karen Ladner Haas, Lynn Mendonza, Ryan LaPointe, Tanya Chute Nagy, and Yan Défossés. This work was supported by the CHILD-BRIGHT KT Innovation Knowledge Incubator grant.
