For volunteers

Ask how participation would fit with your existing mental health care, whether a support person is needed, how often visits occur and whom to contact between visits. Do not change prescribed medication to qualify for a study without direction from the appropriate clinician. Study inquiries are not an emergency or crisis service.

Does psychiatric research replace my regular care?
