Abstract
Over the last 2 years, researchers and medical professionals from the University of Sydney and Northern Sydney Central Coast Area Health Service, Australia, have been involved in a naturalistic study monitoring the side-effects of risperidone in young people. Every 3 months over a 12-month period, the first author – the Research Assistant (RA) for the study – posted follow-up surveys to the young persons’ parents, which were then completed and returned. The RA also maintained regular phone contact with the families involved. As researchers on this project, we believe that it will be of interest and potential relevance to journal readers for us to document some of the observations that were made regarding subject recruitment and administration of the study, because these observations may have wider applicability.
