Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This study tracked behavioral patterns like impulsivity, activity, and aggression through video game play — could the data or tools developed from this completed research be relevant to how my child's condition is being assessed today?
2Since this trial studied adolescents with several overlapping conditions including ADHD, anxiety, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder, do you think my child's specific diagnosis fits the profile of kids who were studied here, and could the findings inform their treatment plan?
3The study used game-play behavior as a way to measure real-world mood and behavioral fluctuations — are there any validated tools or methods that came out of this kind of research that our care team currently uses or could use to monitor my child between appointments?
4Because this was an observational study measuring behavior rather than testing a treatment, does the research from this trial change or add anything to what you'd recommend for managing my child's symptoms compared to standard approaches?
5Given that this study is now completed, is there published data from it that you'd want to review together, and could it help us better understand the patterns in my child's behavior that we've been trying to track?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
