Study Purpose
If you are the caregiver and the parent or legal guardian of someone aged 6 to 65 years of age who has been diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and who also experiences daytime sleepiness, you and your care recipient may qualify for a 90-minute video interview that will pay you $100 for your participation.
The study sponsor wants to hear about how you and your care recipient experience the symptoms of PWS, including daytime sleepiness. They also want to hear your opinions on questionnaires used to study whether new medicines can help the daytime sleepiness that can happen with PWS. Your experience and that of your care recipient, as well as your feedback, are important. This information may help inform how medicines for daytime sleepiness experienced with PWS are studied in the future.
