Public reporting burden of this collection of information is estimated to average 60 minutes, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to CDC/ATSDR Reports Clearance Officer; 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30333; ATTN: PRA (0920-24EG).

Questions from national surveys and previously validated measures were prioritized for inclusion in the this survey. Question sources for the adult self-report survey include the following instruments:



The survey will include two validated measures:

  • Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7)

Additionally, there will be a 2-part clinical assessment (this is included in the burden calculation):

    1. Ask Suicide Screening Questions (ASQ)

    2. Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS)

We were mindful of the benefits of using previously tested and/or approved questions for adoption in the tic surveillance survey. All above surveys and instruments underwent extensive pilot and field testing and/or were previously approved and fully implemented in previous studies. Moreover, many of the questions we used are from surveys of nationally representative samples of US children and adults. This holds an added benefit of allowing us to compare data collected from our survey to external prevalence rates for health indicators in the general U.S. population. In compiling questions into a single survey, we made only minor revisions to some of these existing questions. For example, we revised parent-report healthcare transition questions from the Longitudinal National Survey of Children’s Health to ask young adults directly about their experiences with healthcare transition. We also added mention of mental health care, specifically, to questions on healthcare as this has been reported as a major area of impact for individuals with tic disorders.

We have noted where each survey question originated (in the “Taken From” column). We have also annotated whether modifications were made using yellow highlight. New questions and answers are highlighted in blue.

Note: Today’s date and the time stamp will be automatically populated by REDCap, and will not be seen by respondents. Today’s date will be used to calculate age to make sure individual’s are completing the correct form, and the time will be used in any notifications (if they are completing the wrong form or indicate self-harm or suicide) so the project staff will know which respondent endorsed those items (if multiple people are completing the form at the same time). Age will also not be seen by the respondent. If the respondent indicates they are not between 18-26, they will receive the following message: If you are under the age of 18, over the age of 26, or if you are filling this out for a child under the age of 18, please request an alternative form from

MOTOR TIC SYMPTOM CHECKLIST


Shape11 Description of Motor Tic Symptoms. Motor tics usually begin in childhood and are characterized by sudden jerks or movements, such as forceful eye blinking or a rapid head jerk to one side or the other. The same tics seem to recur in bouts during the day and are worse during periods of fatigue and/or stress. Many tics occur without warning and may not even be noticed by the person doing them. Others are preceded by a subtle urge that is difficult to describe (some liken it to the urge to scratch an itch). In many cases it is possible to voluntarily hold back the tics for brief periods of time. Although any part of the body may be affected, the face, head, neck, and shoulders are the most common areas involved. Over periods of weeks to months, motor tics wax and wane and old tics may be replaced by totally new ones.


Simple motor tics can be described as a sudden, brief, "meaningless" movement that recurs in bouts (such as excessive eye blinking or squinting). Complex motor tics are sudden, stereotyped (i.e., always done in the same manner) semi-purposeful (i.e., the movement may resemble a meaningful act, but is usually involuntary and not related to what is occurring at the time) movements that involve more than one muscle group. There may often be a constellation of movements such as facial grimacing together with body movements. Some complex tics may be misunderstood by other people (i.e., as if you were shrugging to say "I don't know"). Complex tics can be difficult to distinguish from compulsions; however, it is unusual to see complex tics in the absence of simple ones. Often there is a tendency to explain away the tics with elaborate explanations (e.g., “I have hay fever that has persisted” even though it is not the right time of year). Tics are usually at their worst in childhood and may virtually disappear by early adulthood, so if you are completing this form for yourself, it may be helpful to talk to your parents, an older sibling, or a relative, as you answer the following questions.


  • Age of first motor tics? years old


  • Describe first motor tic:


  • Was tic onset sudden or gradual?


  • Age of worst motor tics? years old
