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 trial is focused on COPD screening and smoking cessation with nurse follow-up — since I'm already being evaluated for COPD, could participating in structured nursing check-ins actually help me cut down or quit smoking compared to what I'm doing now?
2The study is measuring the number of cigarettes or other toxic substances I use over time — what does that kind of tracking involve in practice, and how often would I need to check in with a nurse?
3Since this trial is listed as 'active not recruiting,' does that mean enrollment is closed, and if so, are there similar smoking cessation programs tied to my COPD care that you could refer me to instead?
4This trial doesn't seem to be testing a new drug — it's looking at whether nurse-led follow-up makes a difference in quitting — so would joining this kind of study change anything about my standard COPD treatment or access to other cessation medications?
5Given that quitting smoking is one of the most important things I can do for COPD, are there proven cessation tools — like medication, behavioral therapy, or combination approaches — that you'd recommend I pursue alongside or instead of this trial?

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?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
