Declarations
:
: To determine the ethical risk of this initiative, a Project Ethics Community Consensus Initiative (ARECCI),(15) an online decision-support tool was applied. This tool is widely accepted across Alberta and in many jurisdictions across Canada as a pre-curser to health projects and initiatives where the decision is made to whether a formal ethics review is required or not. As a result of the ARECCI assessment, it was determined that the IACS initiative carried minimal risks, thus an institutional review board ethics approval was not required.
