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 listed as completed — does that mean results are available yet, and if so, what did they find about how the COWS assessment tool was actually used in clinical practice?
2Since this study focused on a clinical decision support tool for opioid use disorder treatment rather than testing a medication or therapy directly on patients, how might findings from this trial affect the way my own treatment decisions get made or tracked?
3The trial measured how often clinicians completed the COWS withdrawal scale during patient encounters — does my care team currently use COWS assessments, and could a gap in that process affect how my opioid use disorder treatment is being monitored?
4This study is categorized as Phase NA, meaning it wasn't testing a drug but rather a care process tool — should I be asking whether my treatment program already incorporates structured decision support like this, or whether it's something to look for in choosing a provider?
5Given that this trial is completed and was focused on provider-side tools rather than a patient-facing treatment, is there a different active trial testing actual treatments for opioid use disorder that might be more directly relevant to my situation?

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.
