Self‑questionnaire to spot rare genetic bone conditions in adults with osteoporosis

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Researchers will compare answers from a self‑administered questionnaire to information collected by telephone using a family tree to test the questionnaire's validity. Participants are adults with osteoporosis followed at CHU de Québec–Université Laval and will be randomized to complete either the questionnaire or the family‑tree interview first, with the other method repeated three months later. Clinical and sociodemographic data will be extracted from electronic medical records to describe participants and disease severity. The goal is to see how well the questionnaire matches the family‑tree information and to adapt it to improve accuracy for clinical screening.
