Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Ethics approval was obtained from Simon Fraser University’s office of research ethics before commencing the project. Signed informed consent was obtained from all participants before scheduling the phone interview. Written consent was obtained by emailing a letter of information and consent form to the participant. The participant then contacted the lead investigator by phone or email to ask any questions regarding the study description or the letter of information/consent form. Once all the participants questions were answered, a signed copy of the consent form was either scanned and emailed, faxed or mailed back to the lead investigator. Before commencing the phone interview, a verbal reconfirmation of consent was also obtained from every participant over the phone.
: Written consent for publication was obtained from all participants within the signed consent forms to include verbatim quotation from interviews with personally identifying information removed.
: The authors declare they have no competing interests.
