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:
National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/programs- surveys/nsch/tech-documentation/questionnaires/2023/2023_NSCH-T3_FINAL.pdf

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.
Date of Birth and Race/Ethnicity
Section Intro |
Taken From |
This survey asks about mental health and emotional well-being. If you answer that you have had suicidal thoughts or behaviors, or purposely tried to hurt yourself, we may inform your doctor or other clinic staff. This would be to ensure your safety and provide you with support and care.
By completing this survey, you accept and consent to this protocol. If you have concerns or need immediate help, please tell the clinic staff.
Completing the survey is voluntary. If you are not comfortable answering a question, just leave it blank. |

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 the project staff. |

Clinical Assessments
Ask Suicide Screening Questions (ASQ)
Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS)
The following questions will be asked by a trained professional, not as part of the survey.
a. Ask Suicide Screening Questions (ASQ) (these are in a separate REDCap form since they are not part of the self-report survey; these questions will be asked by a healthcare provider or trained program staff member to individuals with tic disorders aged 9-26 years with possible input from parent for children 9-17 years.

Note to person administering the ASQ: Please provide the following information to the respondent before asking the questions.
This survey asks about mental health and emotional well-being. If you answer that you have had suicidal thoughts or behaviors, or purposely tried to hurt yourself, we may inform your doctor or other clinic staff. This would be to ensure your safety and provide you with support and care.
By completing this survey, you accept and consent to this protocol. If you have concerns or need immediate help, please tell the clinic staff. |

[If no to Q5] Patient is non-acute positive screen (potential risk identified).

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
has EVER experienced
is CURRENTLY experiencing (during the past week) State AGE OF ONSET (in years) if patient has had that behavior.

grooming, syllables, or brief meaningful utterances such as
"ah

"hi"
that
could
be
readily
camouflaged.
o
o
MODERATE
Some
tics are more "complex" (more purposive and sustained
in appearance) and may occur in orchestrated bouts that would be
difficult to camouflage but could be rationalized or "explained"
as normal behavior or speech (picking, tapping, saying
"you
bet"
or
"honey",
brief
echolalia).
o
o
MARKED
Some
tics are very "complex" in character and tend to occur
in sustained orchestrated bouts that would be difficult to
camouflage and could not be easily rationalized
as
normal
behavior
or
speech
because
of
their
duration
and/or
their
unusual, inappropriate, bizarre or obscene character (a lengthy
facial contortion, touching genitals, echolalia, speech
atypicalities, longer bouts of saying "what do you mean" repeatedly,
or
saying
"fu"
or
"sh").
o
o
SEVERE
Some
tics involve lengthy bouts of orchestrated behavior or speech
that would be impossible to camouflage or successfully
rationalize as normal because of their duration and/or extremely
unusual, inappropriate, bizarre or obscene character (lengthy displays
or
utterances
often
involving
copropraxia,
