Declarations

:

: The use of INSPQ surveillance data is approved by the Quebec Commission d’accès à l’information and government agencies that own the files. The data are stored at the INSPQ and cannot be accessed elsewhere to meet the high security criteria and protection of personal information. All identifiers are encrypted, and several mechanisms ensure data confidentiality. Access to data is logged and limited to authorized personnel according to different levels of access. All researchers and students will follow the mandatory training of the INSPQ to ensure secure data management. The Ethics Board of the Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux de la Capitale Nationale has approved the conduct of this study. All consultations in the Health and Law&Ethics axes will be carried out according to ethical standards and will be approved by the Ethics Committees of our institutions (Université Laval and affiliated research centers). All participants recruited for interviews and focus groups will provide written consent.
