The “Puppet theatre” study is a McGill ethically-approved research study aimed at optimizing the surgical experiences of children with Osteogenesis Imperfecta. The purpose of this study is to professionally produce an animated version of a children’s play written by one of our research assistants/artists titled “The Hospital of No Surprises”, and to create an accompanying educational toolkit in collaboration with the global OI community (children, parents, and key stakeholders).

For parents and key stakeholders:

Researchers at McGill University are seeking expertise from individuals who are affected by #Osteogenesis Imperfecta (#OI)!
Do you have a child with OI or have OI yourself? Are you involved in the OI community or provide care to children with OI? Are you over 18 years of age?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, you may be eligible to participate in our study to understand the experiences of children with OI and improve care. Contact a member of the research team today!

For children:

Researchers at McGill University are looking for advice from children affected by #Osteogenesis Imperfecta (#OI)!
Are you under 18 years of age and have OI? Do you have a sibling with OI?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, you may be eligible to participate in our study! We need your help to understand your experiences in the hospital and make the hospital better for others like you. Contact a member of the research team today!
