This study is exploring digital app or tool for people with anxiety. 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.

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.

This study may concern people with anxiety; 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.

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.

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.

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 Stockholm 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 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.
