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 specifically studied psychotherapy for Asian Americans dealing with stress, anxiety, and depression — given my background, is there evidence that culturally tailored mental health approaches like this one might work better for me than standard therapy options?
2The trial measured something called 'Mental Health Self-Efficacy' and 'Help Seeking Attitudes' — can you help me understand what those mean in practice, and whether my own confidence in seeking mental health support is something we should be addressing together?
3Since this was a Phase 2 trial that has now completed, does that mean the results are available, and if so, what did they show about whether this kind of culturally focused psychotherapy actually reduced stress and anxiety for participants?
4The trial looked at several different styles of problem-solving, including avoidant and impulsive patterns — do you think any of those patterns might apply to how I currently cope with stress, and would that affect which type of therapy you'd recommend for me?
5Given that this trial is already completed and not actively enrolling, are there similar programs or culturally responsive therapists in our area that draw on the same kind of approach I could access right now?

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?
