Saliva Sample

Saliva was collected using a cotton swab or a collection device, such as a tube or container (passive drool).

In RADAR Young, saliva was collected during the Public Speaking task for DNA extraction during the lab visit (in between Waves 5 and 6), and during Wave 10. During the first assessment, the saliva was processed with a Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS), and during the second assessment, through GWAS and EWAS.
