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 professionals who work with youth in the legal system — given my role, would my doctor think I actually fit that target group before I pursue this further?
2The trial is no longer recruiting new participants, so is there any point in contacting the research team to ask about a waitlist or a future phase of the study?
3Since this is listed as Phase NA and seems to be a feasibility study focused mainly on whether people actually use the app regularly, what does that mean about how much we'd know about whether it genuinely helps with burnout, anxiety, or depression at this stage?
4If a meditation app study isn't an option right now, what evidence-based treatments for burnout and emotion regulation would my doctor recommend I consider in the meantime?
5Given that this study is measuring app adherence rather than clinical outcomes, should I be cautious about viewing participation as a substitute for professional mental health support, and how would my doctor suggest I think about the two alongside each other?

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?
