What to expect

Your next step

The official record suggests in-person participation through a hospital, with sites including Program on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (PRODAH); Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre. Participation appears to involve using a digital tool or support program and giving feedback through check-ins or assessments. The main fit is usually matching the main diagnosis and meeting the main study requirements, while common reasons not to take part include major medical issues that could make participation unsuitable and other factors that could make participation unsuitable. This is a later-stage study, which usually means the approach is being followed in broader real-world use.

FAQ

Questions about this study

What is this study trying to understand?

This study is exploring digital app or tool for people with adhd. 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 medication?

This appears to be a medication / drug study. The phase is not clearly listed in the public registry. Phase is mostly relevant for medication studies and some device studies. For this study, it may be more useful to look at what is required, the duration, visits, and eligibility criteria.

Who might this study be for?

This study may concern people with adhd; age range: Over 18 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 take a study treatment and have regular medical follow-up. 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 side effects, interactions, or treatment changes should I check?

If the study involves a medication, ask whether it is already approved, experimental, or being tested for a new use. Check possible side effects, interactions with current treatment, dose changes, monitoring, and what happens 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 Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre, which appears to be a hospital or academic medical center. 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.

Can I still join this study?
