FAQ

Questions about this study

What is this study trying to understand?

This study is exploring medical device for people with mental health. Participants may complete study visits, assessments, or follow-up activities defined by the research team. Direct benefit is not guaranteed. The detailed objective is not always clearly listed in the public registry; the study team can confirm.

Does this study involve a device, app, or technology?

This appears to be a device / app / digital / technology study. Phase 1 studies usually focus mainly on safety, tolerability, dosage, and side effects. They often involve healthy volunteers, but not always. Some Phase 1 studies include people living with the target condition.

Who might this study be for?

This study may concern people with mental health; age range: From 15 Years to 65 Years. The criteria appear fairly specific, but you should not assume you are eligible. The study team must confirm diagnosis, age, exclusions, available locations, and next steps.

What would I likely need to do?

You may need to use a device, app, or digital tool for a defined period. The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask whether some steps can be done remotely.

What should I check about data, monitoring, alerts, and daily use?

If the study uses a device, app, or digital tool, check what data is collected, who can access it, how often you need to use it, and what happens if the tool detects a concerning signal. For any mental health study, also ask who to contact if you feel worse, whether participation may affect current treatment, whether you can stop, and who confirms eligibility.

Will I need to travel or attend in-person visits?

The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask which sites are open, how many visits are expected, whether any steps can be done remotely, and whether travel costs or compensation are listed.

Who is behind this study?

This study is sponsored by Dr. Peter Enticott, which appears to be an individual investigator. The listed contact or investigator is Peter Enticott. If available, it can be useful to check the sponsor website, collaborators, investigator affiliation, and the official registry before deciding.
