Declarations
:
: This study received ethics approval from the University of Manitoba Health Research Ethics Board (File number H23086) and the Health Information Privacy Committee (HIPC). In addition, approvals were obtained from the Health Information Research Governance Committee (HIRGC). HIRGC, anchored within FNHSSM, holds the responsibility of authorizing/approving/reviewing ethics applications which include FN community members. Because this study used data from de-identified administrative databases that did not include names and addresses, a waiver to obtain individual informed consent was provided by the Health Information Privacy Committee (HIPC, recently renamed the Provincial Health Research Privacy Committee, or PHRPC), in accordance with the Manitoba Personal Health Information Act.
