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 is studying 'quiet quitting' and coping strategies among healthcare workers — since I'm a healthcare worker myself, could this study give me tools or insights to better manage my own well-being at work, and is it worth discussing with my care team?
2The trial is listed as active but no longer recruiting — does that mean there's any chance of joining, or would my doctor know of similar studies on healthcare worker well-being that are still open to new participants?
3Since this study is measuring a 'quiet quitting scale' as its primary outcome, what does that actually mean in terms of what participants are asked to do, and would sharing that kind of information about my work behavior feel comfortable and safe?
4This trial doesn't appear to involve any treatment or medication — it seems observational — so is there any risk to participating beyond sharing personal information about my work life, and how is that data protected?
5If my own workplace stress or burnout is affecting my health, would my doctor recommend this kind of research participation as a helpful step, or are there more direct clinical support options I should consider first?

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.
