Declarations
:
: The project was approved by the Baycrest Research Ethics Board and McGill Institutional Review Board. All methods were performed in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations. The online surveys for PLWD and care partners included a section for the informed consent before the questions. For the case of PLWD, an informed consent form accessible in simple language was developed; if they could not consent, the substitute decision-maker (e.g., caregiver) consented on behalf of the PLWD. Physicians were emailed a description of the study that included a link to the survey. By clicking on the survey link and completing the survey, consent was implied. The physician cohort are competent and not a vulnerable population. The survey was anonymous and there were no ways to identify physicians.
: Not applicable.
: Dr. Allan Grill declares that he gets paid a salary for his role as Physician Advisor for the College of Family Physicians of Canada. The rest of the authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest.
