Declarations
:
: The institutional review boards (IRB) of Mass General Brigham and University at Buffalo approved the study protocol (Mass General Brigham: Protocol 2022P003110 and University at Buffalo: Protocol STUDY00007422). The research study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and the Belmont Report. Written consent was not obtained, but implied and verbal consents (with a Fact Sheet for the PPA and later verbally at the start of the interviews) were provided by all the participants based on their specific participation. The Fact Sheet fully informed the participants of the potential risks, benefits, purpose, and nature of the study and that while some identifiable health information would be stored in our secure data capture system, all responses would be deidentified and stored securely. Agreement in both instances was recorded in the study’s data capture system, REDCap. Each of these procedures was approved by the governing IRB.
