  1. How can I participate in research as a client?

    Research projects conducted at Medipsy follow strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, a predetermined methodology, and rigourous procedures. For these reasons, clients and patients of Medipsy cannot simply decide to participate in a research project. When projects are under way or when new projects are planned, these are announced in Medipsy offices so that clients who wish to participate in research can obtain more information and decide if they wish to participate.

  2. Will I be included in a research project without knowing about it?

    Absolutely not! Our projects involve strict procedures, including procedures for obtaining informed consent. You will never be pressured to participate in a research project if you do not wish.  Declining to participate in a research project will have no effect on the services you receive.If you choose to participate in a project but later change your mind, you can do so.
