    Introduction & Summary

    Welcome to our research study hosted on the "Efforia" platform. We invite you to join us in this exciting exploration made possible by your support. Efforia is a registered Delaware B Corporation, a new kind of corporation that may consider the public good in business decision-making in addition to traditional monetary and financial considerations.

    This document provides key information to help you decide whether to participate in the study. The study aims to explore new scientific knowledge and societal benefits. Your participation is voluntary, and you may leave the study at any time without penalty. You can continue using the products and services you've purchased, or you may be eligible for a partial or full refund by reaching out to Efforia.

    If you have any questions, we encourage you to reach out to Efforia, conduct your own research, and consult with healthcare professionals familiar with your circumstances.

    Purpose of the Study

    The purpose of this study is to conduct a thorough investigation into the effects and outcomes of specific daily treatment activities. By participating, you contribute to scientific knowledge and help advance societal benefits. The study aims to provide insights that may influence future health-related decisions and practices.

    What You Will Do as Part of this Study

    While participating in this research study, you will need to:

    • Be willing and able to follow the study directions and procedures
    • Tell Efforia about any side effects or problems by communicating with help@efforia.com or online chat.
    • Ask questions as you think of them, via help@efforia.com or online chat.
    • Inform Efforia if you change your mind about staying in the study. You may leave the study at any time by communicating with help@efforia.com or chat.

    Participants in the study are required to adhere strictly to the outlined schedule and timeline. The study involves a daily repetition of specific tasks, which are essential for gathering consistent data. Each day, participants will engage in the designated treatment activities as per the study's guidelines. The activities are scheduled to occur at specific times of the day, ensuring uniformity in data collection.

    Adherence to this timeline is crucial for the integrity of the study's results. Participants are expected to perform the tasks regularly and precisely at the assigned times to maintain the consistency and reliability of the data. This meticulous adherence to the schedule will contribute significantly to the success of the research.

    The Risks, Discomforts & Benefits of Being in this Study

    There are some unique risks, discomforts, and potential benefits of being in this study that you should understand.

    Consider your Own Risk-Benefit Comfort Level

    We encourage you to thoroughly weigh the risks and benefits of participation. We are placing more responsibility on you to make the right choice than in a traditionally sponsored trial. Since this is an experimental exercise, there may be possible unknown side effects that the authors are unaware of. Participants have the responsibility to consult with their healthcare providers and conduct further research at sources they find reputable before enrolling in the study.

    Personal and Overall Findings

    Efforia will provide you with both personal outcomes and overall findings. These findings will be made available at various data collection points in your experience in the study or as they are discovered by Efforia. The results and findings may impact your interest and willingness to be involved in the study. Remember, participation is voluntary, and you may exit at any time with an e-mail to help@efforia.com.

    Possible Benefits of Participation

    No Benefit: A key risk to all studies is that there is no benefit, and that participants receive no benefit from the proposed intervention or treatment, despite the financial payment the participant has made.

    There is a possibility that there will be no measurable benefit to you, other than seeing reports that the intervention or treatment had no measurable impact.

    Possible Serious Adverse Events & Side Effects

    Interventional New Drug Application: Safety and Risk Assessment

    Introduction

    The following is a summary of known risks. However, research is limited, and there may be risks not covered by this document, risks that are currently unknown or unforeseen. Please consider these risks carefully, do your own research, and talk to a professional who knows you well and has expertise in this area, like your personal physician.

    In the Case of an Adverse Event

    If you experience a serious adverse event, seek immediate medical care by calling 911 or visiting the nearest emergency room. Once the acute situation has been addressed, please contact Efforia to report the incident. This helps us monitor the safety profile of our treatments and improve future care.

    Known Risks and Side Effects

    The most common risks associated with the product include gastrointestinal symptoms, skin and hair reactions, headaches, fatigue, and mood changes. These side effects have been identified through a combination of academic research, anecdotal evidence, and reports on online forums. The maximum dosages tested in animal studies or human trials are currently not available, which limits the scope of safety data.

    Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Theoretical side effects Relative incidence Recovery
    Incidence of Cancer Very low likelihood Permanent effects
    Exacerbation of chronic disease Low likelihood May subside with discontinuation
    Death Extremely low likelihood Permanent
    Life-threatening experience Very low likelihood May subside with discontinuation
    Hospitalization (initial or prolonged) Low likelihood Depends on the severity
    Disability or permanent damage Low likelihood Permanent
    Congenital anomaly/birth defect Very low likelihood Permanent
    Required intervention to prevent permanent impairment or damage Low likelihood Depends on the intervention
    Frustration and irritation Medium likelihood Subsides with use

    Efforia's Limitations in Providing Direct Medical Support

    Efforia does not provide direct medical support. Users should maintain contact with their healthcare providers for ongoing medical care and advice.

    Long-Term Dependence

    No known long-term dependence issues have been identified with the use of this treatment based on the available data.

    Legality for Use

    The use of this product in relation to sports and employment is not specifically restricted by the World Anti-Doping Association, National Collegiate Athletic Association, or corporate workplace policies. However, participants should verify the acceptability of this treatment within their specific organizations or governing bodies.

    This document aims to provide an overview of what is currently known about the risks associated with this treatment. It is essential for users to remain informed and consult healthcare professionals for personalized advice.

    Inappropriate Participants Inclusion/Exclusion

    Under the Efforia minimal risk protocol, within which this study is reviewed for safety and human subjects ethics, all individuals over the age of consent are eligible, however, it is the responsibility of participants to determine if their unique circumstances make participation inappropriate.

    Based on the information provided (risks informed consent and intervention), I am unable to create the specific table you requested. Please provide additional details about the risks associated with the study, the nature of the intervention, and the outcome measures to identify the categories of individuals who should avoid participating.

    Privacy & Security Risks

    We are doing everything we can think of to keep your data private and confidential. However, there is no such thing as no risk. Potential participants should review the Efforia general privacy policy, which is available here: Efforia Privacy Policy.

    There may be very certain limits to the rights of your privacy:

    • We may reach out to local help if we have reason to believe you may be a harm to yourself and/or others.
    • Regulators, like the FDA or similar agency, or Institutional Review boards may review records that have your identifying information.

    What to do if you have a study related injury

    If you experience any problems, side effects, or study-related injuries, it's important to seek local medical care first, if necessary. Efforia cannot provide emergency medical care or diagnosis. After receiving any necessary treatment, please contact Efforia to report the issue. We want to ensure that others are aware of potential risks.

    Study related injury care and compensation

    Efforia is not able to offer financial compensation nor to absorb the costs of medical treatment should you be injured as a result of participating in this research. Efforia makes no commitment to provide free medical care or payment for any unfavorable outcomes resulting from participation in this research.

    In the case of medical emergency

    In the case of medical emergency please dial 911 immediately. Do not attempt to contact Efforia until after the emergency has passed. Access local in person medical assistance immediately. If at any time you feel like you may be a danger to yourself or others, please dial 988 for the National Suicide Prevention hotline. Help is available.

    Alternatives to Participating in the Study

    Since this study is for research only, the only other choice would be not to be in the study. If this study does not seem quite right or too expensive for your specific purposes, Efforia is dedicated to making other studies available. You may click on the Efforia logo in the upper portion of the page and find a different study that may be more appropriate.

    Your Rights as a Participant

    Efforia upholds the same high ethical standards in research as seen in pharmaceutical and academic studies, despite only hosting and not sponsoring or conducting these studies. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary, and you are free to withdraw at any time without any adverse consequences. You are not giving up any rights by signing this document.

    Efforia may remove you from the study if you have violated Efforia's overall terms and conditions, privacy policy, or have a conflict of interest. Efforia may also remove you from the study in the interest of safety based on individual or community findings.

    Privacy and Confidentiality

    You have a right to privacy and confidentiality in this research effort. Your personal information is protected through robust measures ensuring anonymity or confidentiality. All data processing is designed to safeguard personal data against unauthorized access and misuse.

    Right to Your Own Results

    Participants have the right to a complete explanation of the research once their involvement concludes, particularly if the study involves any form of deception like placebos or controls.

    The Right to Leave a Study without Penalty at Any time

    If you decide to withdraw from the study, you can do so at any time by visiting your Profile page, selecting "Your Protocols," and clicking "Leave." Upon leaving, you will be refunded for any consumable products that have not yet been shipped. For non-consumable products, a full refund will be issued upon their return in accordance with our return policy. This ensures that you can participate in the study with the assurance that your financial contributions are handled fairly and with respect for your consumer rights.

    Conflict of Interest Statement

    As part of our commitment to ethical conduct and transparency in our citizen science clinical trial, it is essential to disclose the unique structure of our study. This clinical trial is hosted by Efforia, but it is uniquely sponsored by you, the participants. Efforia serves solely as the platform provider and does not sponsor or influence the study outcomes.

    Efforia takes a transaction fee on all the products and services included in this protocol. Otherwise, we have no financial interest or conflicts of interest. To further reduce conflicts of interest, we will remind you once if you do not complete enrollment in this study. We will not remarket to you, nor otherwise push you to join the study.

    How we Reduce Conflicts of Interest

    It is crucial that participants do not have any financial relationship with the intervention methods or measurement providers used in the trial, nor should they be employees, investors, stakeholders, or protocol authors associated with these entities. Participation under such conflicts of interest could significantly compromise the study's integrity and the validity of its results.

    Consequences of Conflict of Interest Non-Compliance

    If you fail to disclose such a conflict of interest or if a breach of this policy is discovered, you will be subject to immediate suspension from this platform and payments may not be refunded.

    By joining this trial, you affirm that you understand the above conflict of interest restrictions and agree to comply fully with them. Your participation is valued, and your adherence to these guidelines ensures the validity and reliability of our collective scientific efforts.

    Data Protections

    Data will be collected, used, and protected, ensuring compliance with data protection laws. You own your own data, and it will be housed on Efforia indefinitely until you tell us to delete it by e-mailing help@efforia.com.

    What you can do to improve your privacy and security

    As part of participating in this study, you will receive notifications via e-mail, SMS, or push notification when new study tasks like questionnaires and reminders are ready for you. You can adjust your communication preferences in the Efforia application at any time. If you do not want to receive notifications from this study, do not press the Accept button. You can decide not to join this study, and will not receive notifications. To ensure others don’t see these alerts, you should make sure your phone or desktop computer and your e-mail accounts are protected by a password, pin, or other form of “access control.” You should also avoid sharing your accounts with others or sharing your account passwords. As this study is hosted in Efforia, it is governed by a set of privacy and confidentiality standards that put you, as a participant, in control. You can learn more about Your Privacy and Security rights on Efforia here.

    Who will have access to your data?

    Efforia will have access to your data. There may be partners who also have access to your data (like labs and connected health devices).

    What will we do with your data?

    We will use the data to show you your own personal results, and pool your results with other participants to provide general outcomes. We will not use your information connected with your name or anything that connects the data with you without your permission.
