Introduction & Summary

Welcome to the Efforia platform! We invite you to participate in our research study, "Repeating Task — Email Issue," made possible by your support. This document will help you decide whether to join. It explains the study's purpose, benefits, and risks. Participation is voluntary, and you can leave the study at any time without penalty. If you have questions, please ask before deciding to join.

Purpose of the Study

This study aims to understand behaviors and experiences related to repeating tasks in the context of email usage. We use the Sense of Agency Scale, a measure that helps understand a participant's feeling of control over their actions and its effects. This research could benefit scientific knowledge by providing insights into task management and cognitive processes involved in repetitive tasks.

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 follow a structured schedule that outlines their responsibilities and tasks. The study will span over a specified timeline, during which participants must adhere to all scheduled activities and measurements to ensure the integrity of the research.

The treatment activities are detailed and require participants to engage in specific tasks as outlined by the study protocol. These activities include regular engagement with the prescribed treatment regimen, which may involve taking medication, attending therapy sessions, or performing specific exercises. The frequency of these activities is predetermined and must be followed without deviation to maintain consistency in the study's results.

Measurements will be conducted at regular intervals to assess the progress and effectiveness of the treatment. These may include physical assessments, questionnaires, or other forms of evaluation as necessary. Participants are expected to attend all scheduled measurement sessions and provide accurate information during these evaluations.

Adhering to the timeline is crucial for the success of the study. Participants must commit to the schedule and complete all tasks and measurements as outlined. This meticulous adherence ensures the reliability of the data collected and contributes to the overall 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

It is important to 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. It is possible that not all risks and benefits are currently known. Participants have the responsibility to consult with their healthcare providers and conduct further research 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. The results may impact your interest and willingness to be involved. Remember, your participation is voluntary, and you may exit at any time by emailing 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

Introduction and Summary of Known Risks

The safety profile for the treatment identified as "Task – 1" remains largely undefined due to the absence of detailed descriptions and ingredient information. As such, the following summary discusses potential risks based on general considerations associated with treatments that lack comprehensive safety data.

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 any adverse reactions or symptoms that you believe may be related to "Task – 1," seek immediate medical attention by calling 911, especially if symptoms are severe or life-threatening. After addressing any acute conditions, please inform Efforia about the event. This helps in monitoring the safety and efficacy of the treatment and assists in further refining the risk profile.

Efforia's limitations in providing direct medical support

Efforia may not provide direct medical support or emergency response services. Participants are advised to establish a personal safety plan with local healthcare providers in case of an emergency or severe adverse reaction.

Long-term Dependence Issues

No specific long-term dependence issues have been identified for "Task – 1" due to the lack of detailed information. However, general risks associated with long-term use of any treatment without proper oversight include potential for misuse, psychological dependence, and masking of underlying conditions.

Legality for Use by Various Institutions

The use of "Task – 1" in contexts governed by organizations such as the World Anti-Doping Association, National Collegiate Athletic Association, and general Corporate Workplaces is not clearly defined due to incomplete data. Users are advised to consult with relevant authorities and comply with institutional policies to avoid conflicts that may affect their status or employment.

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. You should review the Efforia general privacy policy, which is available here: https://efforia.com/privacy-policy/

• 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

Seek local medical care first, if necessary. Efforia cannot provide emergency medical care or diagnosis. However, it's important to contact Efforia if you experience any problems, have any side effects, or have any study-related injury after receiving necessary treatment. We want to ensure 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.

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.
