The factors contributing to negative outcomes across multiple health domains in adults with TS remain uncertain, in part due to a lack of longitudinal studies in this population. In attempt to address these knowledge gaps, our center has initiated development of a regional registry for adults with TS. During the goal-setting and design phase of registry development, we conducted focus groups with adults with TS to identify research issues of greatest importance to this population and to obtain feedback on design and implementation of an adult TS registry.Patients and Methods: Participants were recruited from a tertiary care adult TS clinic and from institutional research registries. Focus groups were conducted online and were moderated by a qualitative research expert. Qualitative data analysis was performed using an iterative inductive/deductive approach.Results: Across four focus groups, adult TS participants (n=22) expressed a variety of research priorities, including developing more effective treatments for tics, identifying risk factors for tic persistence into adulthood, clarifying the interaction between TS symptoms and women’s health, clarifying the relationships between TS and other mental and physical health disorders, and addressing day-to-day living issues. Focus group participants were generally enthusiastic about creation of an adult TS registry. They indicated that adults with TS are more likely to engage with a registry that logistically accommodates participants (eg, by offering a wide range of visit times, by providing telehealth options) and that fosters bidirectional interaction (eg, by disseminating results regularly, by involving participants in registry design and implementation, by notifying participants of support resources).Conclusion: Focus group input clarifies the research priorities of adults with TS and will inform the ongoing development of an adult TS registry.Keywords: tic disorder, patient registry, neurodevelopmental disorder, movement disorder |
