Declarations

:

: The project was reviewed and approved by the Research Ethics Board at the University of Waterloo (REB #30173), and all methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations. The research team is not involved in data collection, and we do not know the details of what participants are told at the time about how their data might be used in the future (e.g., research purposes). We do not know the actual process involved in obtaining informed consent as the province has their own protocols in place for client consent as the assessments are completed as part of normal clinical practice. These assessments are mandated or recommended for use by the province and those collecting the data would have to follow the policies laid out by the ministry of health. All identifying client information is de-identified prior to being shared with the research team.

: Not applicable.
