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.
1Since this study is looking at a possible link between bullying or victimization and habits like teeth grinding and nail biting, could my child's oral habits actually be connected to stress they're experiencing at school, and is that worth exploring with their care team?
2This trial is observational — meaning it's tracking and measuring these habits rather than testing a treatment — so what would my child actually be asked to do if we were to participate, and how much time or effort would that involve?
3The recruitment status for this study is listed as unknown, so is this trial even actively enrolling right now, and how would I find out if my child could still be considered?
4If this study finds a connection between bullying and habits like bruxism or nail biting, would that change how you'd approach treating my child's oral habits — for example, would you also recommend counseling or support for stress alongside any dental treatment?
5Are there existing standard-of-care approaches for childhood bruxism or nail biting that we should be pursuing now, regardless of whether this study is a good fit for my child?

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?
