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 measuring something called 'hypoxic burden' — can you explain what that means for my child's breathing during sleep, and whether it's something that's been assessed for my child yet?
2The trial is looking at executive function in preschool children with OSA using a test called the BRIEF-P — can you tell me whether my child's thinking and behavior skills have already shown any signs that would make this kind of evaluation useful for us?
3Since this trial isn't recruiting yet, should we be moving forward with standard treatment for my child's sleep apnea now, or is it reasonable to wait and see if this study becomes available and relevant to us?
4This appears to be an observational study measuring outcomes rather than testing a new treatment — does that mean participating wouldn't change what treatment my child receives, and what would actually be involved for us day-to-day?
5Are there other ways to already get my child's executive function evaluated outside of this trial, so we don't have to wait to understand if OSA is affecting their development?'

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.
