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 specifically for Black women with conditions like overweight, prediabetes or diabetes, and high or elevated blood pressure — given my specific health history, is this the kind of trial you think would be a good fit to discuss with the research team?
2Since this trial is measuring feasibility and adherence rather than health outcomes like blood sugar or blood pressure improvement, what does that mean for what I might personally gain from participating compared to just starting a resistance training program on my own or through standard care?
3The trial is listed as 'active, not recruiting' — is there any chance of getting on a waitlist or a similar upcoming study, and are there other remotely delivered exercise programs you'd recommend in the meantime?
4Because this is a Phase NA feasibility study, the researchers are still learning whether the program works logistically rather than proving it improves health — how does that affect what I should realistically expect in terms of monitoring my cardiometabolic conditions while I participate?
5Since the resistance training is delivered remotely, what kind of equipment or technology would I need at home, and is that something you think is realistic given my current physical condition and health limitations?

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.
