Declarations
:
: As this study was a cluster trial, we obtained consent at the GP practice level. Given the nature of the data collected, i.e., patient identifiers removed (deidentified), and the privacy protecting techniques used by GrHanite™ to protect individual identity, consent to query the patient electronic medical records was sought only from the general practices, and not individual patients. Given the protections in place, the project met ethics and requirements and rationale to be granted a waiver of consent. To minimise and monitor any potential harm, HARMONY staff surveyed the clinics monthly to request any adverse outcomes arising from participation in the study.The trial was approved by the La Trobe Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC 18413) on 30 th October 2018.
