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.
