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?
