Submitting this screening form does not enroll you in the study. The researcher will review your responses and contact you by email regarding the next step. If you appear eligible, you will receive a separate informed consent form before participating in any research activities.

  • What Happens Next?

    The researcher will review your responses to determine your eligibility. If your screening is approved, you will receive an email with a link to the informed consent form. Watch for study emails displaying “Tony Reyna, Study Researcher,” sent through a Jotform email address. Please check your inbox and spam or junk folder regularly so you do not miss study emails. If a study email is in spam or junk, mark it as “Not spam” or “Not junk” to help future messages reach your inbox.

    Please read the consent form carefully. If you choose to participate, sign it electronically. After your signed consent is received, you will receive a separate email with your participant ID and a link to the demographic questionnaire. Please wait until your eligibility is confirmed and you receive your participant ID before completing the demographic questionnaire.

    Optional Study Waitlist: Current study enrollment is nearing capacity. After you submit your demographic questionnaire, you will receive an email with an optional waitlist link if you are still interested in participating. Completing the screening, consent, or demographic forms, or joining the waitlist, does not enroll you in the study or guarantee enrollment. The researcher will contact you if a place becomes available and explain any required onboarding steps before enrollment and Wysa access.
