Are you interested in
participating in a research study about bone health in children and adolescents
at high risk of suffering a broken bone? Dr. Weber at CHOP is looking for
people between 5-19 years old with a genetic or a long-term medical condition
affecting bone strength to participate in this study. We are also recruiting children between 5-19 years old with no medical conditions as healthy participants in the study. Participation will
require a single visit at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, which will
include bone scans, a muscle strength evaluation by a physical therapist, blood
and urine tests, and questionnaires. Eligible participants who complete the
study will be compensated for their time.
