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 was focused on understanding why some ICU patients become colonized with Candida auris during an outbreak — does my situation or medical history include any of the risk factors they were investigating, and how does that affect my care?
2Since this trial has already been completed, has my doctor seen or heard any findings from it that could influence how my care team screens for or monitors Candida auris in my case?
3Candida auris colonization can sometimes lead to serious infection — given that this study was conducted in an ICU outbreak setting, how concerned should I be about my own exposure risk, and what steps is my care team already taking to protect me?
4This was an observational study rather than a treatment trial, so it wasn't testing a new drug or therapy — does my doctor feel there are currently standard-of-care prevention or treatment strategies for Candida auris that I should know about instead?
5If the findings from this study identified specific risk factors for Candida auris colonization, would my doctor be willing to review those factors with me so we can discuss whether any apply to my situation and what precautions make sense?

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.
