Ageing and Health. Spanish Longitudinal Study
This study is active but not recruiting. It focuses on mental health and currently lists study information in Spain.
Key information made simple
This study exists to learn from real-world information that can show how questionnaires and follow-up reports fits into care. Researchers are trying to understand whether questionnaires and follow-up reports can improve attention, thinking, or day-to-day functioning. For people living with Mental health, the gap between what sounds good on paper and what works in daily life is often important. If the findings are useful, they could help future care become more targeted, practical, and easier to trust. Taking part helps build the evidence that can improve understanding and care for others over time.
Your next step
The official record suggests in-person participation through a hospital, with sites including Fundació Sant Joan de Déu in Sant Boi de Llobregat, Fundación de Investigación Biomédica - Hospital Universitario de La Princesa in Madrid, and Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Participation appears to center on assessments, scans, or samples rather than trying a new treatment. The main fit is usually meeting the main study requirements, while common reasons not to take part include other factors that could make participation unsuitable. The official record does not list a trial phase, which usually means the study is focused on observation rather than testing a staged treatment.

Questions about this study
What is this study trying to understand?
This study is exploring observational follow-up for people with mental health. 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.
Why is the study type not clearly categorized?
The study type is not clearly categorized in the public registry. Focus on the objective, required tasks, visits, any intervention, and eligibility criteria, then ask the study team to confirm.
Who might this study be for?
This study may concern people with mental health; age range: Over 18 Years. The criteria appear fairly broad, 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?
The public registry does not clearly describe all participation steps. 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 risks or points should I check?
The public registry does not make the main risk category clear. Ask the study team what activities are required, what could feel uncomfortable, how safety is monitored, and what happens if you want to stop. 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 Fundación de Investigación Biomédica - Hospital Universitario de La Princesa, 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?
The registry indicates that the study is active but not currently recruiting. This usually means participants may already be involved, but new participants may not be accepted.
