What is this study trying to understand?

What is a behavioral study?
This appears to be a behavioral / psychological / psychosocial study. The listed phase is Not Applicable. Ask the study team what that means in practice for safety, monitoring, and criteria.
Who might this study be for?
This study may concern people with mental health; age range: From 18 Years to No limit. 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.
Does a loved one or caregiver need to be involved?
The public registry appears to mention a loved one, caregiver, or family involvement. Ask whether that person must participate, provide information, attend visits, or simply be available if needed. The study team must confirm what is required.
Could this study affect my mood, habits, motivation, or stress?
Behavioral studies can involve habits, emotions, motivation, stress, sleep, or ways of thinking. Ask whether the intervention could affect your mood or stress, and who to contact if you feel worse. 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 University of the Sunshine Coast, which appears to be a university. The listed contact or investigator is Mary Gregory. If available, it can be useful to check the sponsor website, collaborators, investigator affiliation, and the official registry before deciding. HopeStage does not judge the quality of a sponsor or researcher, but helps you identify what to verify.
