This study is testing a program called ThriveCircle, which brings small groups of faculty members together to talk about their work experiences, support one another, and build a stronger sense of community.

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 focused on well-being at work and measuring burnout using the Maslach Burnout Inventory — given my specific situation, do you think participating in a workplace well-being program like ThriveCircles would actually address the kind of burnout or stress I'm experiencing?
2The trial isn't recruiting yet, so there could be a significant wait before it even starts — given where I am right now, would it make more sense to pursue existing burnout or mental health support rather than waiting for this study to open?
3Since this trial is listed as Phase NA, it seems more like a behavioral or wellness program than a traditional drug study — can you help me understand what kind of commitment or activities would actually be involved, and how that might fit into my current work and personal schedule?
4The study is based at CU School of Medicine and seems aimed at a specific workplace setting — do I even work in an environment that would qualify me to participate, and is this designed for healthcare workers or a broader population?
5Are there already established, evidence-based programs for workplace burnout that you'd recommend I try now, while this trial is still in the pre-recruitment phase?

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.
