This quiz was used as a funny tool to get attention from doctors at a pediatric conference. The purpose was to demonstrate how support groups provide info that is different from medical advice. We took it to a meeting where humor is appreciated. We handed out buttons to professionals for taking the quiz. It was designed to contain some info that support groups know but doctors don't have time to track
