What to expect

Your next step

The official record suggests in-person participation through a hospital, with sites including McMaster University in Hamilton, Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, and Douglas Mental Health University Institute in Montreal. Participation appears to involve guided sessions or support activities with check-ins on how they fit into daily life. The main fit is usually being able to follow the planned visits or tasks and being able to understand the study and consent, while common reasons not to take part include safety concerns that need urgent care first and pregnancy or breastfeeding. This is a later-stage study, which usually means a larger group and a closer look at how well the approach holds up.
