Common questions

Do I have to decide now?

No. Answering the questions is not a commitment — it simply lets the research team see whether this study may be appropriate and contact you to talk it through.

Will it cost me anything?

No. Study visits and study assessments are provided at no cost, and reasonable travel may be reimbursed where applicable.

What happens after I submit the form?

A member of the research team reviews your answers and contacts you — usually within two business days — to answer questions and review the next steps.

Could I receive a placebo?

Some studies compare a treatment with a placebo. Whether this study does is explained clearly during informed consent, before you decide anything.

Can I leave the study after it starts?

Yes. Participation is always voluntary. You can withdraw at any time without giving a reason and without it affecting your regular medical care.
