Evolving Treatment of Hemophilia's Impact on Neurodevelopment, Intelligence and Other Cognitive Functions (eTHINK)

The Hemophilia Growth and Development Study (HGDS) nearly 25 years ago showed haemophilia and
HIV impacted brain development, thinking, and behaviour in children and adolescents. The
eTHINK study is designed to understand whether advances in hemophilia treatment have removed
any impact of hemophilia. If there still is an impact of hemophilia, the eTHINK study will
help to identify which children or adolescents are still at risk, and how to screen other
children. Participants and their child will participate in a comprehensive assessment of
child's brain development, thinking and behavior through completing tests and questionnaires.
There is only one study visit of 1 to 1.5 hours with no follow-up required
