FAQ
Questions about this study

This study is exploring psychotherapy or therapy for people with addiction. 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.
What is a behavioral study?
This appears to be a behavioral / psychological / psychosocial study. Phase 4 studies usually happen after treatment approval, to monitor real-world use.
Are there criteria about substance use or wanting to reduce it?
The public registry appears to mention tobacco, nicotine, alcohol, cannabis, or another addiction-related topic. Ask the study team whether you need to want to stop, reduce, already be abstinent, or simply meet use-related criteria. Eligibility must be confirmed by the study team.
What would I likely need to do?

Will I need to change, stop, or stabilize my current treatment?
