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 focuses on follow-up nursing consultations for children after resuscitation — if my child went through a resuscitation event, how would you assess whether they might be at risk for post-traumatic stress, and is this kind of structured follow-up already available to us outside of a trial?
2Since this study isn't recruiting yet, what options exist right now for monitoring my child's mental health after a critical medical event, and would it make sense to revisit this trial once it opens?
3The trial is measuring post-traumatic stress disorder as its main outcome — what signs or symptoms of PTSD in children should I be watching for at home, and at what point should I bring them to your attention?
4This appears to be a nursing consultation program rather than a drug or procedure — what would that kind of follow-up actually look like for my child, and how might it fit into their existing care schedule?
5Since this study is listed as Phase NA and not yet recruiting, how much is currently known about whether structured nursing follow-up after resuscitation helps reduce PTSD in children, and are there any evidence-based approaches you'd recommend in the meantime?

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?
