Are there any risks in participating?

Some people find completing questionnaires on mood and anxiety or memory testing distressing. If you are affected we have a helpline (01865 613113) that operates from 9 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday or you can contact your GP or NHS Direct on 111 for advice.

Each different study or trial you may be invited to join will have information about any risks specific to the study. Before you join a trial the researcher will give you full information, including any risks so you can decide whether you wish to take part.

When researchers review Great Minds member data they will select participants based the level of risk of developing dementia in the future. Great Minds will not share with your information about your level of risk of developing dementia.
