Your questions, answered.
What is a research registry?
It's a list of people who are interested in hearing about research. You can tell HopeStage what topics and kinds of research interest you, without choosing a study. Opportunities may include clinical trials exploring potential treatments, surveys, interviews, digital mental health research and contributions from people with lived experience.
Am I agreeing to join a clinical trial?
No. Joining the registry only records your interests and permissions. Research participation is voluntary. If an opportunity interests you, the research team explains what is involved and assesses eligibility before you decide whether to take part. You can always say no.
Will I receive treatment?
The registry does not provide treatment. Joining does not guarantee access to a study, treatment or any benefit. Some studies explore potential treatments and others involve surveys, interviews or lived-experience perspectives.
Who can access my information?
Authorised HopeStage administrators can manage your membership. Our service providers support secure storage and requested emails. Sponsors, research organisations and study sites do not automatically receive your personal information or interests. Any study-specific sharing requires a separate permission.
Can I change my preferences or leave?
Yes, whenever you like. Request a private email link to review your choices, stop particular types of contact or withdraw from the registry. You don't need an account or password. Leaving this registry does not automatically change any permission you gave separately to a research team.
