Declarations
:
: All protocols and procedures performed in this study were approved by the Interdisciplinary Committee on Ethics in Human Research at Memorial University of Newfoundland (ICEHR #20211278) following the research practices outlined in the Tri-Council Policy Statement 2 (TCPS2) Guidelines. All participants provided informed consent to participate and those 16 years of age and under also had parental/guardian consent to participate.
: Not applicable.
: The authors declared no potential financial or personal conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article. The team was comprised of a gender-balanced, culturally diverse group including healthcare researchers in the disciplines of pharmacy and medicine. The interview team included a woman and man interviewer who all were healthcare research trainees (DHD, ECR, AB, JM, MP, SS, OS, and RH). All researchers and trainees were cognizant of their healthcare related training and professional backgrounds in their respective fields (pharmacy, psychology, public health); therefore, every effort was made to ensure that this did not impact our data collection or interpretation of our analyses. We actively maintained a neutral perspective with discussions guided by participant’s responses as opposed to any healthcare related objectives. We recognized that healthcare professionals can be perceived as an individual of higher power than the general public, therefore, discussion with participants was solely facilitated by the trainees to account for potential power imbalances.
