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 is looking at how common ADHD, autism, and other neurodevelopmental disorders are among young people who have had contact with the justice system — given that my child has already been diagnosed with one of these conditions, could participating in this research actually benefit their care, or is it purely observational with no direct treatment involved?
2Since this trial is in phase 'NA' and appears to be a prevalence study rather than a treatment trial, what would my child actually be asked to do if they participated, and are there any risks — emotional or otherwise — to answering questions about criminal behavior and neurodevelopmental history?
3The study is measuring the age at which criminal behavior first occurred alongside rates of ADHD and ASD — could the findings from this kind of research eventually change how youth like my child are assessed or supported within the justice or mental health system, and is there any direct clinical benefit for participants now?
4Given that my child has a conduct disorder or ADHD diagnosis, are there active treatment-focused trials or programs that might be a better fit than an observational study like this one, and how would you weigh both options?
5How is the data collected in this study kept private, especially since it involves sensitive information about both a neurodevelopmental diagnosis and criminal behavior history for a minor?

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.
