Overview

Brief Summary

The primary aim of this study is to characterize the quality of life of youth with Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS) as well as the strategies they use to cope with stress, their strengths and vulnerabilities, and to assess symptoms of depression and anxiety in these at risk youth. The impact of CVS on the child's parent and family will also be assessed.
