Beyond Silence: Advancing E-mental Health Solutions to Support Canadian Healthcare Workers

Based on the public registry summary, this study is trying to understand: The purpose of this project is to scale implementation and evaluation of an m-health app designed to promote early intervention and mental health support for frontline healthcare workers to reduce their risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or the mental health. The study team can confirm the exact objective and what it means for you.

This appears to be a behavioral / psychological / psychosocial study involving Beyond Silence App. Phase is mainly useful to check for medication studies and some device studies.

This study may concern people with ptsd; age range: From 18 Years to 65 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.

The public registry appears to mention a loved one, caregiver, or family involvement. Ask whether that person must participate, provide information, attend visits, or simply be available if needed. The study team must confirm what is required.

Behavioral studies can involve habits, emotions, motivation, stress, sleep, or ways of thinking. Ask whether the intervention could affect your mood or stress, and who to contact 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.

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.

This study is sponsored by McMaster University, which appears to be a university. 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.

The recruitment status is not clearly listed. Check the official registry or contact the study team. The registry lists an estimated enrollment of 50,000 participants.
