Epidemiological Study on the Prevalence of Mental Disorders in Slovakia

Slovakia3,100 participantsStarted 2025-02-13

Plain-language summary

This study maps the current epidemiological situation of mental disorders in Slovakia. The aim of the study is to determine the prevalence of selected mental disorders in the adult population of the Slovak Republic, assess the availability and use of mental health care services, evaluate the impact of symptoms of selected mental disorders on quality of life and functional capacity, and identify population groups at the highest risk of not using available services despite the presence of mental disorders. The proposed project will provide unique data that have not yet been available in Slovakia on the prevalence of the most common mental disorders in the adult population in relation to age, gender, level of education, and broader social and economic contexts. It will also offer insights into the relationship between risk factors and the onset and course of these mental disorders, their overall societal impact, and the use or absence of mental health care services.

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.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

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.
